Hello,

I would lile to endlessly loop a externally linked video file which acts as a background layer.

Here is my current functioning code :

import flash.net.NetConnection;

import flash.net.NetStream;

var myConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

var myStream:NetStream;

var metaInfo:Object = new Object();

myConnection.connect(null);

myStream = new NetStream(myConnection);

myVideo.attachNetStream(myStream);

myStream.play("myVideo.mp4");

metaInfo.onMetaData = onMetaData;

myStream.client = metaInfo;

function onMetaData(info:Object):void{

}

How can unable the video for it to loop seamlessly?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'm slowly getting there. Sorry, I'm new to AS3.

Using import flash.events.VideoEvent and + the netstream instead of video.

Calling completeF from statushandler is an other story. Here's what I currently have :

import flash.events.VideoEvent

myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);

function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void{

    switch (event.info.code)

    {

        case "NetStream.Play.Start":

            trace("Start [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

            break;

        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":

            trace("Stop [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

            break;

    }

}

// TRYING TO CALL statusHandler FUNCTION with : myStream.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,statusHandler)

myStream.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,statusHandler)

function completeF(e: flash.events.VideoEvent): void {

    myStream.seek(0);

    myStream.play();

}


use:

function statusHandler(event: NetStatusEvent): void {

switch (event.info.code) {

case "NetStream.Play.Start":

trace("Start [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

break;

case "NetStream.Play.Stop":

trace("Stop [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

completeF(event);

break;

}

}

function completeF(e: Event): void {

myStream.seek(0)

myStream.play(("séquence_justice.mp4");

}

you can check for the end of your netstream and then restart it but it won't be seamless unless you edit the end of the video to go black.

I have pinpointed the end of the NetStream but I can't seem to find a way to restart it. Here is my current code:

myConnection.connect(null);

myStream = new NetStream(myConnection);

séquence_justice.attachNetStream(myStream);

myStream.play("séquence_justice.mp4");

metaInfo.onMetaData = onMetaData;

myStream.client = metaInfo;

function onMetaData(info:Object):void{

}

myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);

function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void

{

    switch (event.info.code)

    {

        case "NetStream.Play.Start":

            trace("Start [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

            break;

        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":

            trace("Stop [" + myStream.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");

            break;

    }

}

The output information I get form this is the following:

Start [0.000 seconds]

Stop [33.433 seconds]

Thanks!
