On scene as2

stop();

Stage.scaleMode = “noscale”;

chap1_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 2″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

chap2_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 3″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

On the second scene i have the player which has an flvplayer which has the following code attached.

stop();

Stage.scaleMode = “noscale”;

chap1_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 2″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

chap2_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 3″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

//below allow to cycle through the scenes.

var duration:Number = 240000; // set the call delay
var yourInterval:Number = setInterval(doSomething, duration);

function doSomething():Void
{
gotoAndStop(”Scene 3″, 1); // play Scene 2 from frame 1
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function

On the third scene I have the second flvplayer with the following code attached

stop();

Stage.scaleMode = “noscale”;

chap1_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 2″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

chap2_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(”Scene 3″, 1);
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function
};

//below allow to cycle through the scenes.

var duration:Number = 508000;
var yourInterval:Number = setInterval(doSomething, duration);

function doSomething():Void
{
gotoAndPlay(”Scene 1″, 1); // play Scene 2 from frame 1
clearInterval(yourInterval); // clear your interval function

What i am trying to do is have an intro page with buttons linked to two different video.
I know i probably approaching the project wrong by using scenes, but i am new to action script and know no better.

Is there a simpler way to approach my goals on this project.

I have looked at your ‘How to Play Flash Video Files (FLV) Sequentially’ and got the flvplayer playing the two videos continuously, but cannot figure out how to attached the intro..

Can you help?

You betcha. You can have as many movie clips following the knob as you like. Just use the setInterval() loop update additional clips’ _x properties in the same way as knob’s.

To randy …

Flash MX 2004 may not “realize” what the NetStream.onMetaData event is, even though Flash Player 7 does. Try this version instead (just another way of accessing the same event) and write back if you still run into problems.

ns["onMetaData"] = function(evt:Object):Void {...}

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=as, frame=1:Line 15: There is no property with the name ‘onMetaData’.
ns.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):Void {

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks so much

There’s a very good chance! The only question is when. I’m writing chapters for a new book that will almost certainly carry me through the end of January, 2008 — possibly into February — so my blog posts may be sparse for several weeks.

Aha! Yes, then you would indeed have to know the video’s and SWF’s framerates, then do the math to provide an approximate time counter. If you can read the time from NetStream it would likely be more accurate. But without a known duration, of course, you wouldn’t be able to say “mm:ss of total mm:ss” (sounds like a real challenge, in any case!).
