HMTL5 Video Event Listener

Question

Hi, I'm new to scripting in AS3 so I apologise if I'm just doing something really stupid...

I'm having trouble getting any video event listeners to work.

I want to use html5 to load a video and do something (go to a specific frame etc) when it ends.

I've looked for examples, but haven't got any to work, lots seem to be written for Edge, but I can't get any to work.

Failing this, can anyone explain why my video in an AIR file looks pixelated? Only choosing html5 as the video looks better.

Thanks, Dan.

PS: I'm using the 2017.2 version of Animate.

Yeah, javascript... I meant to say I haven't touched Actions since AS2 - a loooooooong time ago.

You were probably trying to address the component before it had initialized. Timeline code executes first, then any clips/components after that. Usually waiting one frame allows everything to fully initialize.

It seems that I was trying to do everything too quick.

If I leave the adding of an event listener until frame 5, it works.

I think it was trying to add the event listener before (or at the same time as) it was trying to actually make the html5 video item.

There's probably a preload setting I should be using, but for now this workaround is doing the trick.

If somebody knows how to do this properly, I'd be grateful to hear how.
