Looping an flv using NetStream - HTML Forums

STOMPFROG · 07-25-2008, 03:32 PM

Hi,

I am trying to get an external flv file to loop but cant get it to work.

My code is...

Code:

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("flv_file.flv");

This is working fine but I want the flv clip to loop. I have done some searching and have found several solutions which depend on listening for a NetStream.Play.Stop event but whenever i try to access this info I get errors.

Using the code...

Code:

ns.onStatus = function(info){
	trace("info="+info.code);
	if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
		ns.seek(0)
		ns.play("flv_file.flv");
	}
}

I get the error...

1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property onStatus through a reference with static type flash.net:NetStream.

I am publishing the movie with flash 9 and AS3 from CS3.

Thanks

Just switched it to AS2 and it seems to be working... sort of :SGetting the following trace...

Code:

info=NetStream.Play.Start
info=NetStream.Buffer.Full
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Play.Stop
info=NetStream.Play.Start
info=NetStream.Buffer.Full
info=NetStream.Buffer.Empty
info=NetStream.Buffer.Full
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Buffer.Flush
info=NetStream.Play.Stop
info=NetStream.Play.Start
info=NetStream.Buffer.Full

This looks promising, but although i am getting a trace saying this stuff is looping I can no longer see the video clip in my published movie. Any ideas?

Got this working in the end with AS2 and the following code

Code:

// Create a NetConnection object 
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); 
// Create a local streaming connection 
netConn.connect(null); 
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function 
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn); 

netStream.onStatus = function(info){
	trace("info="+info.code);
	if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
		netStream.seek(0)
		netStream.play("flv_file.flv");
	}
}
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object 
my_video.attachVideo(netStream); 
// Set the buffer time 
netStream.setBufferTime(5); 
// Begin playing the FLV file 
netStream.play("flv_file.flv");

Hope someone finds it useful one day
