Looping with FLVPLAYBACK (CS3)

[stiney51]

Trying to do a simple flash file to play a flv movie. Need the movie to loop and not sure how to go about this. Any help from you flash gurus out there (Unleash?) would be quite appreciated.

You want the movie inside the movie to loop right (not the whole flash thingy cause that is simple just dont use an "stop();" at the end... )

If you want another movie to loop... there are a few things you can do. Here are the two things I know about:

this is the crude but simple one. You just need to put this in the FLV object....

on(complete){
this.autoRewind = true;
this.play();
}

This one has more code, and you need to set the path to the movie twice... also this one is a bit more bug attracting than the first one since its bigger and uses more variables....

flPlayer.contentPath = "Movie path";
FLV.play();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Math.round(FLV.playheadTime) == Math.round(FLV.totalTime)) {
FLV.stop();
FLV.contentPath = "Movie path";
FLV.play();
}
}

Do note that I used FLV as the instance name for the player... maybe you use a different one.

If this doesn't do the trick... I would need the file or the pasted code you have here Without the code I cant really see what the next step should be...

Got it to work in a way similar to the 2nd example, but it does require me to put in the url in the action script & the flvplayback component.

How do you place code in the FLV object?

Just click on the object, go to the AS panel (where you type in you code) and type your code... it works similar to a layer you just need to select the object instead of the layer

All fine and good except "current selection cannot have actions applied to it"

oh, crap... I forgot about that part

I dont really use FLV players much... if I need sounds I simply use the "newsound" function... If I need video... well than it becomes a lot harder for me.
