Description

Method; stops the video from playing. If the autoRewind property is true, the FLV file rewinds to the beginning.

Example

The following example listens for the playheadUpdate event, and when the elapsed playheadTime is greater than or equal to 5 seconds, the listener calls the stop() method to stop playing the FLV file. A second listener listens for the stopped event and displays the values of the playheadTime and state properties.

Drag an FLVPlayback component to the Stage, and give it an instance name of my_FLVPlybk. Then add the following code to the Actions panel on Frame 1 of the Timeline:

/**
 Requires:
  - FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of my_FLVPlybk
*/
import mx.video.*;
my_FLVPlybk.autoRewind = false;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.stopped = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    trace("playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime);
    trace("The video player state is: " + eventObject.state);
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("stopped", listenerObject);
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    if (eventObject.playheadTime >= 5) {
        my_FLVPlybk.stop();
    }
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath ="http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv";
