Netstream (loading a .flv file)

By mrsam | Jul 6, 2009

Hey all,

I’m currently trying to load an .flv file to my stage. What i’m looking to do is the following;

1 - I want to load the entire .flv file before start playing it - how can I check for that? Can I just put an onComplete listener on my NetStream? How?
2 - When the .flv file ends, it should just start over. How do I define that?
3 - Lets say I want to jump to a certain point of the -flv file - would I be able to do this?
4 - If I were looking to load the video into a movieclip container (lets call it "container_mc"), where would I do that in my code?

All answers are appreciated

My code looks like this (currently loads the video to center of the stage).

ActionScript Code:


var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
 
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
 
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = {onMetaData:ns_onMetaData, onCuePoint:ns_onCuePoint};
 
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play(“http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/cuepoints.flv”);
 
function ns_onMetaData(item:Object):void {
 trace(“metaData”);
 // Resize video instance.
 video.width = item.width;
 video.height = item.height;
 // Center video instance on Stage.
 video.x = (stage.stageWidth - video.width) / 2;
 video.y = (stage.stageHeight - video.height) / 2;
}
 
function ns_onCuePoint(item:Object):void {
 trace(“cuePoint”);
 trace(item.name + “\t“ + item.time);
}
