Playing Multiple Movies in Flash

[jamesleslie]

Hi,

This is probably a dumb question as i really don't know flash (i work with css primarily) but i have a series of short avi files that i want to embed on a web page as swfs.
There is a 'main' video that i want to loop that is about 3 secs long, and then a series of different introductions videos that are around 1-1.5secs long.
What i really want to do is get it so that i can load a swf in that will call an introduction to play through once and then loop the 'main' movie afterwards.

Is this feasible to do, and do i need to actionscript it? is there any way i can use the cached 'main' movie (it will load on the page the first time it is opened as a default state) for the loop or will i have to create an swf with each introduction followed by the main movie individually?

Many thanks for any responses, i hope it makes sense!

It would be easier for you to buy a video player from somewhere like Tufat.com, and just link it to the video, and tell it to loop....that way you don't have to learn ActionScript.

Thanks, but that isn't really feasible for this project, i seem to have found some code that works:

Code: Select all

var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var myStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
my_video.attachVideo(myStream);
myStream.play("intro1.flv");
myStream.onStatus = function(info)
{
trace("info="+info.code);
if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop")
{
stopped=true;
}
if (stopped)
{
myStream.seek(0);
myStream.play("main_loop.flv");
stopped=false;
}
}
