Verifying a list of same events

Once an addAsync error handler has been called events are no longer<br />processed. FlexUnit uses a fail fast approach.

I face another issue with the solution. I implemented the following code. If somehow an error occur that player does not fire playing event, addAsync will call errorVideoNotPlaying() (addAsync timeout). I coded errorVideoNotPlaying() to call playNextVideo() again but it looks like even if the player does fire playing event, any subsequence addAsync successful event notification will not execute the desired verifyVideoPlaying() function at all.

Do you have any other idea on this?

private var count:int = 0;

public function testPlaying10Videos():void
{
playNextVideo();
}

private function playNextVideo():void
{
var uuid:String = TestHelper.getRandomVideoId();
Player.Instance.addEventListener(Event.Playing,addAsync(verifyVideoPlaying, 60000, uuid, errorVideoNotPlaying));
Player.Instance.callMethod("vidPlayId", uuid);
}

private function verifyVideoPlaying(event:Event, uuid:String):void
{
var state:String = Player.Instance.callMethod("vidGetState") as String;
var id:String = Player.Instance.callMethod("vidGetId") as String;

if (PlayerState.Playing == state && uuid == id)
Application.application.logSuccess(uuid);
else
Application.application.logError(uuid);

count++;

if (count < 10)
{
playNextVideo();
}
}

private function errorVideoNotPlaying(uuid:String):void
{
Application.application.logError(uuid);
playNext();
}

Thanks Daniel for the solution.

I suspect the code will need to be reworked so that an attempt to play<br />the next video is done only after the previous attempt is verified.<br />Below is a sample rework of the code that I believe will do what you<br />need. The count tracks the number of videos played and the<br />verification function starts playing another one if appropriate. Using<br />this approach there is only ever one active addAsync call.<br /><br />private var count:int = 0;<br />public function testPlaying10Videos():void {<br /> playNextVideo();<br />}<br />private function playNextVideo():void {<br /> var uuid:String = TestHelper.getRandomVideoId();<br /> Player.Instance.addEventListener(Event.Playing,<br />addAsync(verifyVideoPlaying, 60000, uuid, errorVideoNotPlaying));<br /> Player.Instance.callMethod("vidPlayId", uuid);<br />}<br />private function verifyVideoPlaying(event:Event, uuid:String):void {<br /> // verification test here<br /> // loop as many times as desired<br /> count++;<br /> if (count < 10) {<br /> playNextVideo();<br /> }<br />}<br /><br />-- Daniel R. <danielr@neophi.com> [http://danielr.neophi.com/]<br /><br /><br /><br />On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 9:18 PM, Dina So <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br />> A new discussion was started by Dina So in<br />><br />> FlexUnit Development --<br />> Verifying a list of same events<br />><br />> Hi,<br />><br />> I am writing a test method to verify playing a list of video.
