Question

Two videos side-by-side with shared controls?

I've tried assigning the same controls to two different FlvPlayBack components, e.g....

my_FlvPlayback1.seekbar = my_seekBar
my_FlvPlayback2.seekbar = my_seekBar

Also tried associating two MediaDisplays to the same MediaController. No luck. The controllers only ever control one video and/or behave erraticly

Any suggestions? Do I need to build my own player from scratch? I'm using Flash 8 but can upgrade...

Man thanks... Flash 9 if necessary. 8 or 9 is fine.

I can see locking together two sets of controls would work - but which controls? FlvPlayback customisable components? Generic buttons/slider bars?

It's the ability to seek through both videos at once that I really need. Even just fastforward/rewind buttons that moved things forward/back by 10 seconds would do.

What version of Flash? I'll check through my stuff tonight at home.

Have you tried using two sets of controls but using AS and event handlers to make it so that when you adjust either set of controls, it affects the other movie's controls as well?

No, but that approach sounds more likely to work. Can you throw me any sample code?

Thanks :-)
