[VideoLoader - Have video play on button click]

Thanks Carl!

 

Appreciate the file and the help.

 

I used the currentVideo example you provided and it works great.

 

I'll be studying the file to figure out the scrubber issue.

[VideoLoader - Have video play on button click]

Greetings all,

 

I've run into a problem with loadermax videoloader.

 

I have the video loading and can play it with no problem. My problem is that I cannot get it to play using a play button that is used in my project.

 

In the queueCompleteHandler below, I add a listener which works:

videoContent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _togglePause,false, 0, true);

This is clicking on the video itself to get it to play.

 

What I would like to do is have a mc which overlays the video take over the play actions:

 

 This fails miserably:

firstPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstVidPlay);

My code:

function _queueCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void
{
    var video:VideoLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("vid/u1a2p3.mp4");
    trace("duration:", video.duration);

    var videoContent:ContentDisplay = LoaderMax.getContent("vid/u1a2p3.mp4");
    videoContent.x = vidBG.x;
    videoContent.y = vidBG.y;
    videoContent.width = 512;
    videoContent.height = 288;
    videoContent.scaleMode = "proportionalInside";
    
    addChild(videoContent);
    addChild(firstPlay);
    videoContent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _togglePause,false, 0, true);
    firstPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstVidPlay);
    
}

WORKS:
function _togglePause(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    var video:VideoLoader = VideoLoader(event.target.loader);
    video.videoPaused = ! video.videoPaused;
    video.playVideo();
    
}

DOES NOT WORK:
function firstVidPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    
    var video:VideoLoader = VideoLoader(event.target.loader);
    video.videoPaused = ! video.videoPaused;
    video.playVideo();
    firstPlay.visible = false;
}

Any help will be appreciated. If this can be solved, then my scrubber woes should be solved as well.

 

Cheers!
