Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Basically just add this to the same frame of actionscript:

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if (info.code == “NetStream.Play.Stop”) {
ns.seek(0);
}
};

Still, many thanks to David for the great tutorial which has saved me once again!

Is there a way to loop the video?

Normally I would just apply this code to the component on the stage:
on (complete) {
this.autorewind =true;
this.play();
}

However, I cannot apply any code to the empty video player…

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if (info.code == NetStream.Play.Stop) {
ns.seek(0);
}
};

You have to make sure to put double quotes around NetStream.Play.Stop.
So, do this: if (info.code == “NetStream.Play.Stop”) {

Thanks though
You too Jason

var duration:Number = 0;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);

if (replay != “true”) {
ns.play(”nuevo.flv”);
}else{
ns.pause;
}

ns.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):Void {
duration = evt.duration;
};
ns.onStatus = function(evt:Object):Void {
if (this.time > 0 && this.time >= duration) {
var replay = “true”;
ns.seek(0);
ns.pause();
delete this.onStatus;
}
}

btnPausePlay.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
}

First of all, thank you so much! You have bailed me out more than you know, just never posted. I’ll try to make this ’short and sweet’.

My problem is the same as Jason Hone had (4 posts up), I would like to restart the video as soon as it completes. I tried the code that he posted but couldn’t get it to work. I also tried your post on it and was also unsuccessful. Hopefully you can help me out again.

Here is the code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play(”nuevo.flv”);

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if (info.code == NetStream.Play.Stop) {
ns.seek(0);
}
};

btnPausePlay.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
}

As many have mentioned, your blog is a great resource, thanks for sharing all of this info with us.

I have built a an FLV Player in ActionScript 3.0 using the VideoPlayer class. Do you have any experience with it? Do you believe it to be a better alternative than using the low level NetStream implementation?

In order to use the class inside of the Flash IDE without the FLVPlayback component I had to change the ActionScript 3.0 classpath. It’s obvious to me then that Adobe did not intend for us to use it in the way that I have. However, according to the documentation for the class, it seemed like the best choice to me.

The biggest reason I’m asking is because I’ve run into a bit of a brick wall when it comes to scrubbing through my videos. Updating the playhead position on every frame (Event.ENTER_FRAME) does not work very well. The best implementation I’ve found is to use a Timer object and update the playhead every half second.

Do you have an thoughts on the subject? Unfortunately there aren’t very many resources for this sort of project out there, so any insight will be appreciated.

Cheers.

I have a button to open said video with this this action–/
on(release) {
my_mc.onUnload = function () {
trace (”onUnload called”);
}
loadMovie(”../swf/movie player.swf”,_root);
}
–/

What I trying to get is, unload current player and load new movie with new size of 450 x 300
But as you can see Im not getting to work, I have other movies loading into player and they size just fine.
Do you think you can help.
Thank you

Good job! Yes, that’s one of the ways to do it. I describe another approach elsewhere on this blog, but your approach is the more elegant.

Found code just needed this at end:

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if (info.code == “NetStream.Play.Stop”) {
ns.seek(0);
}
};
