Change Video Component SRC within MC

[khussie]

Hi - In Adobe Animate CC (CreateJS)  I have a video component nested within a movieclip. This movieclip is then added from the library via script. That works.

I now want to dynamically add or remove the video file path/src to it in CreateJS, This doesn't work no matter what I try. How do you change the source of a video once the component is loaded? Please help!

e.g.,

this.mc.videocompinside_mc.src="videopath.mp4";

have you tried using the code snippet??

Under Window>Code Snippets>HTML5 Canvas>Components>Load a Video

/* Load a Video

Change the URL below.

*/

var videoURL = "https://MYwebsite.com/My-Video.mp4";

this.instanceName.on("added", function() {

    $("#instanceName")[0].src = videoURL;

}, this, true);

Hope that works! Or a possible work around is to have each of your videos in a MC, and then just swap out the MC's from the library.

Cheers,

mark
