is there a way to set up a listener and function that gets fired every time a label in the "timeline" is reached? I've tried tl.addCallback(myFunction, "label1") But it only fires when I hit that one label.

Thanks Jack. I appreciate the followup. So here's a strange thing that happened. The code below works: var video:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader(flashVars.v, {name:"myVideo", container:this, width:stage.stageWidth, height:stage.stageHeight, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", bgColor:0x000000, autoPlay:true, volume:1, requireWithRoot:this.root, estimatedBytes:75000}); //start loading video.load(); video.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.INIT, VIDEO_INIT); function VIDEO_INIT(event:Event):void { trace(event.target.metaData) for (var n:int=0; n var cp = event.target.metaData.cuePoints[n]; trace(' '+cp.time+' "'+cp.name+'" ('+cp.type+')'); }//end for } Which works, but the strange thing is when I opened it on another machine that uses a new version of green sock I get an error: This is the version of green sock that works: CHANGE LOG : GREENSOCK TWEENING PLATFORM ---------------------------------------- 2011-07-07 but the latest build doesn't. Am I doing something wrong?

var video:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader("video.f4v", {name:"myVideo", container:this, width:stage.stageWidth, height:stage.stageHeight, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", bgColor:0x000000, autoPlay:true, volume:1, requireWithRoot:this.root}); //start loading video.load(); video.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.INIT, VIDEO_INIT); function VIDEO_INIT(event:Event):void { trace(event.target) } What am I missing here?

I'm trying to figure out a way to get all the cue points contained in a video file, but I can't seem to get the metadata out either once the video loads. Help!

Thanks Jack! I thought maybe you might have built something like that in. I appreciate your help none the less. I love the loadermax by the way.

Is there a property to determine if the loaded swf is playing or not? Say I have a SWF being loaded in. In that sub SWF there are several stops on the timeline animation. Is there a way to detect if that sub SWF is playing or if it's stopped? Without dispatching and even?

ok to thicken the plot... I have gotten the player to trace the progess. function updateDownloadProgress(event:LoaderEvent):void { trace(event.target.progress) trace(event.target.bytesLoaded, event.target.bytesTotal) } The problem seems to be rather than tracing the whole progress it traces just the buffered amount (bufferMode is set to true). What can I do?

I've created a video site, but I've run into and error. In order to not allow the scrub bar to be fast forwarded beyond what's already downloaded I'm trying to limit it's width. BUT the problem is that both: event.target.progress and event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal equal 1. Meaning the whole file has downloaded. BUT that's not the case. I know the video is on a different server out side my home location. Help please.

I know you can set the bgColor, but is there a way to set a line stroke around the image?

Hey Jack, I just updated to the latest version of greensock and noticed that all my videoloaders in loadermax are BUSTED. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I'll have to give them some thought and see which will work best. I appreciate the reply.

Say I have a banner rotator that builds each banner based on an XML file that is looped though. Each banner has different text, images, etc. Could I also create a for loop that creates a timelinelite of the banner building in? And each time the banner is brought to the top of the rotator the timelinelite would be told to gotoAndPlay(1)? I know I can loop, but how would I go about calling the timeline? Can I give it a name? and say timeline("number1").gotoAndPlay(1)? I'm lost. Help!

Ok. Solved it. In the OnItemComplete I added the following and it worked as hoped: TweenLite.to(event.target.content.rawContent, 0, {x:"-145"})

is there a way to position a loaded image inside the crop? for instance: var image2:LoaderCore = LoaderMax.parse(xml.page[2].img[0].@src.toString(), {name:"image2",container:this, noCache:false, width:145, height:stage.stageHeight, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside", hAlign:"center", vAlign:"center", crop:true}); And what I want to do is put the hAlign:"center"-145 Is there a way to do that?

Genius Jack. It really is amazing!

And it appears that you can: why_video1.content.vAlign = "center" why_video1.content.bgAlpha = 0 //Changes the bgColor to zero alpha. Love it. What can loaderMax not do!

is it possible to change the settings of a loader after the files been loaded? Take for instance a loader with these params: {name:"why_video1", bgColor:0xffffff, width:stage.stageWidth, height:stage.stageHeight, scaleMode:"proportionalInside", hAlign:"left", vAlign:"top", crop:true}) and say you wanted to change hAlign to center and vAlign to center when the file goes into fullscreen. Is it possible to change these on the fly? Or once their set their set?

Ok I think this is the trick: video1.content.rawContent.width

So in my loader I define the size of a video file... width:stage.stageWidth, height:stage.stageHeight, scaleMode:"proportionalInside", hAlign:"left", vAlign:"top" And in my stage listener I have code the sets the fitWidth and fitHeight. It works as it should. I love it. But I'm wondering if there's a way to get the file's actual dimensions? Because with proportionalInside the file fits in the space defined maximizing either height or width, but even though the width is set to stage.stageWidth if the height doesn't allow it it's width is actually less than stage.stageWidth. So code: in my stage resize function: video1.content.fitWidth = swfWidth video1.content.fitHeight = swfHeight trace(video.content.width, video.content.height) // THESE just return the stage.stageWidth and height even if the actual video isn't that width. I'm looking to get the actual displayed width. Any ideas?

Ah, excellent. I'm an idiot. Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it. I'll upload the file and see if that fixes it. Thank you again.

http://flash.dev.axis41.com/axis41/_test/_loader.zip I'm not using IE. I'm just testing in the flash IDE bandwidth profiler (which usually seems to work). Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks Jack.

Have a Queue of imageLoaders and videoLoaders, and I've defined the estimatedBytes, but I still get very poor progress reports. It starts at 0 then jumps to .2 then .9 and then the remaining progress reports .9945413412, .9956341435. Here's the trace: trace(event.target.name, "progress: " + event.target.progress); returns: why progress: 0.8593410590073448 why progress: 0.8594171019451604 why progress: 0.859893932453896 why progress: 0.8673481144808071 why progress: 0.8675188586030212 why progress: 0.9898047009946656 why progress: 0.9899934945196937 why progress: 0.9957593552804853 why progress: 0.995928129077478 why progress: 0.9961149535479457 why progress: 0.9962897743205523 why progress: 0.9964796674055109 why progress: 0.9966514195636268 why progress: 0.9968322873118477 why progress: 0.9970191117823154 why progress: 0.9971939325549221 why progress: 0.9973838256398806 why progress: 0.9975555777979965 why progress: 0.9977364455462174 why progress: 0.997926338631176 why progress: 0.9980980907892919 why progress: 0.9982909622353737 why progress: 0.9984597360323663 why progress: 0.9986406037805872 why progress: 0.9988214715288081 why progress: 0.999002339277029 why progress: 0.9991832070252499 why progress: 0.9993640747734708 why progress: 0.9995449425216917 why progress: 0.9997258102699126 why progress: 0.9999066780181335 why progress: 1 What do I need to do to get better results? Is it the videoloaders? Here's what I'm doing for the video loaders. var v0_loader:LoaderCore = LoaderMax.parse(xml.page.video[0].@src.toString(), {volume:0,bufferMode:false,container:v0_mc, noCache:false, estimatedBytes:Number(xml.page.video[0].@estimatedBytes)}); parentQueue.getLoader(QUEUE_NAME).append( v0_loader ); v0_loader.addEventListener(VideoLoader.VIDEO_COMPLETE, loopVideo); Anyone have any ideas? HELP!

In my onComplete function is there a way to get what type of loader just completed? trace(event.target) lists what I need but it also list a whole bunch of other stuff I don't need. Fo example I get: VideoLoader 'loader2' (videos/video5.f4v) But all I want is the "VideoLoader" part? I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me. Help!

I have several images and videos that are loaded in my loaderMax. And I have an stage resize event, but I'm trying to figure out how to target the loaders or the movieclips that contain the image or video, but still keep the settings or proportions I originally set. Does that make sense? For example say I have: var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip() addChild(mc) var video2:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader("woman.f4v", {name:"myVideo", y:300, container:mc, width:1200, height:720, scaleMode:"proportionalOutside"}); in my stage event listener I would want to resize the video but keep the scaleMode and different parameters. mc.width = stage.stageWidth mc.height = stage.stageHeight Is there a way to target the loader and not the "mc"? Thanks in advance.

timeline.timeScale = 2 Figured it out. Doh.
