[Xerte] Controlling an flv - round 2 **READ FIRST

[Dave Burnett]

J, unless you want to figure it out for posterity, don't worry about it.

The way I am instantiating the player, it was actually clearing itself each time.
I missed a line where I was resetting the cuepoint (to the old values).

All working nicely now.
load, seek, cue, kill on cue, kill at end.

Cheers;

Dave

Ah, but only if I comment a load of other code. Have to return to this later, J From: Tenney Julian

There needs to be some tidying up around these methods / properties… From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Julian Tenney

You get to the interaction but does it set the new content path?

If I break that initial path, then try to set a new one, it will not load.From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Controlling an flv - round 2Unlike other icons, if the mov icon has no valid path set, the flow stops there. Not in the example here: I broke my path and I still get the interaction below the movie icon.

Aha.

Hadn't noticed that before.
Unlike other icons, if the mov icon has no valid path set, the flow stops there.
If I set a valid path, then wait till movieReady, then setContentPath, it works.

Bit of a pita though, as I have to load a dummy first to get the thing to work each time...

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Controlling an flv - round 2 Tried mv.contentPath and didn't get anything. Maybe I'm setting it at the wrong point in flow.>Alternatively mv.flvPlayback.removeASCuePoint(‘dave’);
The user has too many ways to access/exit/bypass the flv.
Clearing the queue with 1 function I use anyway would be more "peace of mindful".

Subject: RE: [Xerte] Controlling an flv - round 2If you use contentPath to load the new flv mv.contentPath = FileLocation + ‘myNewFLV.flv’; DO things wirk then? The new film should load, right? Then clear the cue points Alternatively mv.flvPlayback.removeASCuePoint(‘dave’); And rip them out yourself?

Cue point works a treat now, next thorn in my side.

The cue points are persistent if I load a new flv via setting the attributes.url xml property.

AS help says:
"Cue point information is wiped out when the contentPath property is set." 

OK, I see a setContentPath function in the MOV, but several variations have not given me an flv load.
Barking up wrong tree?
