VideoEvent in Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work

[yusuf_memon]

Same code works in 10.1 and earlier but does not work in 10.2... Is it bug or done intentionally? Is there any way to run VideoEvent in flash player 10.2?

HAving this same problem in CS5.5? VideoEvent is not working and sends erroe...

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 8 1119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.

Had any progress in fixing?

That's the error message but what's the ActionScript that you're running that raises the error?

I just discovered this same problem in CS5.5. Could there be something corrupted in the AS properties? Below is the error message I am receiving to the COMPLETE event.

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 8 1119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.

Here is my code I have used forever...

import flash.events.*;
import fl.video.*;

stop();

theVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped);

function VideoStopped(e:VideoEvent):void{
trace("VIDEO STOPPED");
}//end

There is another thread explaining in more detail. It appears I'm not the only one with this problem.

One solution, I can't explain is this. It works but only as a event in the funciton.

import fl.video.VideoEvent;
stop();
theVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, VideoReady);
theVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped);
theVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE, VideoUpdate);

// These DO NOT WORK

//theVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped);
//theVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE, VideoStopped);
//theVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, VideoStopped);
//theVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, VideoStopped);

function VideoReady(e:Event):void{
trace("READY");
theVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, VideoReady);
}
function VideoStopped(e:Event):void{
trace("STOPPED");
theVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoStopped);
theVideo.removeEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE, VideoUpdate);
}
function VideoUpdate(e:Event):void{
trace("UPDATE");
}

No. At least by this morning.
Switch your publishing properties to 10 & 10.1

That was it. Changing the Flash Player publish setting to 10 & 10.1, I was able to use the VideoEvent. Who would of figured!!!

THANK YOU Fuzzy!!!

Same issue with AIR 2.5 & 2.6.

The compiler seems to be confusing fl.video.VideoEvent with flash.events.VideoEvent. Just use the entire class path, like so:

vidPlayer.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.READY, videoReady);

And in the event handler:

function videoReady(e:fl.video.VideoEvent):void

{

  // do something

}

*sigh* bugs like these are so annoying. Thanks for the fixes!
