I've built a working video player which uses the following function to select and play one of 50 videos.
function playVideo(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (e.currentTarget == video1) {
vidLink = "http//video1.flv";
ns.play(vidLink);

I am getting this back:

obviously the second doesnt work because y is a movieclip and x is a number, but i want to be able to set x to whatever type is being passed in.
In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or loads the image and shows a progress bar). This function is called by clicking on a thumbnail, and it uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property "name" of the thumbnail clicked, which is an integer (or I believe so). The thumbnails are placed inside the cointaner_mc MovieClip.
Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){[code]...
but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.I tried this:
Code:
clickThumb(image_num + 1);
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.events:MouseEvent.
How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use "image_num + 1" instead of "e.target.name" ?
Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this value "image_num + 1" ?
Looking into HTML5 video tag, and researching which browsers support which video file types, and my initial thought is things just got harder than just using flash. I am wondering if there is some skeleton code (combined with development approach for videos) that someone has figured out to do the following: If flash is available, use it If not, try html5 video ogg format If that doesn't work, try html5 video h.264 format If that doesn't work, try html5 video webM format Based on what I am seeing, am I correct in thinking that now, in order to accommodate all users on all browsers, a video needs to be published in 4 formats? If so, this HTML5 video thing is an epic fail!
View 2 RepliesConsider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?
i would like to make a voting poll with flash mx, how can i do it ?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to lose events, or somehow corrupt the event cue, by button mashing? Our buttonPress function calls dispatchEvent, which starts an animation. The last frame of the animation also calls dispatchEvent. After about 20 fast clicks on a button, the animation runs as it should, but the last frame seems to not call dispatchEvent,because the addEventListener function is not called.My hunch is that the last frame did call dispatchEvent, but somehow the event was lost due to the constant button spamming sending other events.

View 3 Replieshow is possible passing parameter inside button.Sample.

how is possible passing parameter inside button.
[Code]...
The problem is when I click and any button the value in the button is every the last item loaded and never the real value clicked.
Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
i have a flash button and i want to pass the button link (after click) as parameter.
View 2 RepliesI want to create a few buttons which users can choose from to change the XML file for my RSS Reader in Air for Android. This is what the button will need to update:
var rssURL: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml");
The above XML is the default one I have chosen. What code would I need for them to do this?
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple "universal" media player which presents the same user interface (or as similar as possible) for video and audio playback. Unfortunately, FLVPlayback seems not to be able to handle audio files as far as I can tell, so I'm using a Sound and SoundChannel.
My video playback is handled using an FLVPlayback component which is "wired" to standard controls on-the-fly when needed. What I want to do is wire them to the Sound / SoundChannel when I'm playing a sound so that the same UI widgets work in both cases. I'd like to avoid building all my components from scratch because the FLVPlayback component does a lot of nice stuff "for free" but it's starting to look tricky.
The standard PlayPauseButton is a MovieClip with two layers, one containing the Play button (and with the instance name play_mc) and the containing the Pause button (pause_mc). Inside one of these is a movie with some code like this:
stop();
this.upLinkageID = "PauseButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID = "PauseButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID = "PauseButtonDown";

Forgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."

View 1 RepliesI've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2).
