VideoLoader: all video start at same time

[ilanb]

Hello,

 

When loading videos is completed, all videos play at same time. How to change this ?

 

I would like play just the 2 addChild videos:

 

LoaderMax.activate([VideoLoader]); 

		var urls:Array = ["3_DialS1_P1.flv", "3_DialS1_V1.flv", "3_DialS1_P2.flv", "3_DialS1_V2.flv", "3_DialS1_P3.flv", "3_DialS1_V3.flv", "3_DialS1_P4.flv", "3_DialS1_V4.flv", "3_DialS1_P5.flv", "3_DialS1_V5.flv", "3_DialS1_P6.flv", "3_DialS1_V6.flv", "3_DialS1_P7.flv", "3_DialS1_V7.flv", "Left.flv", "Right.flv", "Sad.flv", "Wait1.flv", "Wait2.flv", "Wait3.flv", "Wait4.flv", "WaitV1.flv"];
		var queue:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.parse(urls, 
			{maxConnections:3,
				onProgress:_progressHandler, 
				onComplete:_queueCompleteHandler, 
				onChildComplete:_childCompleteHandler});
		queue.prependURLs("files/assets/flv/critical/");
		queue.load();

	}

	private function _progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
		this.progress_mc.progressBar_mc.scaleX = event.target.progress;

		progress_mc.x = int ((Main.instance.getStage().stageWidth - width)/2);
		progress_mc.y = int ((Main.instance.getStage().stageHeight - height)/2);

	}

	private function _queueCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {

		var videoP:VideoLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("files/assets/flv/critical/3_DialS1_P1.flv");
		addChild(videoP.content);
		videoP.content.x = 0;
		videoP.content.y = 0;

		var videoV:VideoLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("files/assets/flv/critical/3_DialS1_V1.flv");
		addChild(videoV.content);
		videoV.content.x = 0;
		videoV.content.y = 0;


	}

 

Last question, how I can access to other videos loaded ?

 

Thanks

By default, autoPlay is true. You can set all of them to false by using the 3rd parameter of LoaderMax.parse() (and make sure you have the latest version of LoaderMax):

 

var queue:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.parse(urls,
           {maxConnections:3,
              onProgress:_progressHandler,
              onComplete:_queueCompleteHandler,
              onChildComplete:_childCompleteHandler},
           {autoPlay:false});

 

Then simply call playVideo() on the VideoLoader(s) to start playing the video(s).

 

Last question, how I can access to other videos loaded ?

 

You have several options:

 

1) Use LoaderMax.getLoader() or LoaderMax.getContent() to search by the URL or name. It looks like you already know how to do that.

 

2) You can get an array of all the children of the LoaderMax using its getChildren() method. Then you can loop through them or access them directly.

 

var loaders:Array = queue.getChildren();
var myThirdVideoLoader:VideoLoader = loaders[2];
myThirdVideoLoader.playVideo();

Thanks Jack, very useFull !!!

 

just trying to play with array:

 

var loaders:Array = queue.getChildren();
		var videoP:VideoLoader = loaders[2,3];
		addChild(videoP.content);
		videoP.content.x = 0;
		videoP.content.y = 0;
		videoP.playVideo();

 

 

 

but error message:

if I use just one number in array work fine.

 

Thanks

You cannot access multiple indexes in an array like that.

 

BAD: loaders[2,3]

GOOD: loaders[2]

 

(that has nothing to do with LoaderMax - it's how all arrays work in ActionScript and pretty much any other language I've ever seen)

 

If you want to add both loaders' content to the stage, you could do:

 

var loaders:Array = queue.getChildren();
var videoP:VideoLoader = loader[2];
addChild(videoP.content);
videoP.playVideo();
videoP = loader[3]; //reuse the videoP variable
addChild(videoP.content);
videoP.playVideo();

Thanks for the tips,

 

 

Another great tools the LoaderMax...
