rewind button youtube api

Hello

I'm trying to add a rewind button to my youtube api. I want the user to be able to jump back 10seconds with each click.

i have the play and pause sorted:

play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVid);
function playVid(e:MouseEvent):void {
my_player1.playVideo();
}
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseVid);
function pauseVid(e:MouseEvent):void {
my_player1.pauseVideo();
}

Can anyone help me to take the current playhead position and move it -10seconds backwards?

Many thanks!

Dan

Hi,

Try this http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPla...l#playheadTime

Thanks for that.
I'm not sure how to use it.
I"ve been taking my functions from here https://developers.google.com/youtub...yback_controls and playheadTime() isn't listed.

i'm very unsure how to use as3....and using playheadTime() now throws up a new error:

"Connection to https://www.youtube.com/api_video_info halted - not permitted from http://s.ytimg.com/yts/swfbin/player-vflZsDuOu/apiplayer3.swf"

I've started with this, but i imagine i'm very wrong:

rewind_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rewindVid);
function rewindVid(e:MouseEvent):void {
my_player1.playheadTime();
}

thank you again

Hi,

Maybe attach your *.fla and associated files for us to look at, it's hard sometimes without seeing the code and file.

I notice that there is a function:
player.getCurrentTime():Number
which returns the elapsed time in seconds since the video started playing.

can I (somehow) combine the output from this with the seekTo() function
something like ....!

seekTo(getCurrentTime - 10)

: / !!

Hi,

You can always test it, we can test it too if you attach your files if you have no luck

Thanks for your time

I've attached a test.fla with the minimum script. ...keep clicking the Load Video button until the video eventually loads! which it does, despite the mysterious error messages.

I've stripped out the rest of the script of the current online working version, which can be viewed here....

try this zip file, the attachment didn't attach

Hi,

Well this works, so you were along the right lines, not sure if it's the best method though.

PHP Code:

---

function rewindVid(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var currentTime:Number = my_player1.getCurrentTime();
    trace(currentTime);
    my_player1.seekTo(currentTime - 10) ;
} 


---

and if you wanted to make sure it has gone past 10 seconds before being able to rewind then simply add something like so

PHP Code:

---

function rewindVid(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var currentTime:Number = my_player1.getCurrentTime();
    trace(currentTime);
    if(currentTime > 10)
    {
        my_player1.seekTo(currentTime - 10);
    }
} 


---

the error is due to it being inside of flash, but you might need a crossdomain.xml file in your root, with code similar to this

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

---

Swapping this

Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");

for this

import flash.system.Security;
Security.allowDomain("*");

will stop you getting the errors inside of flash too

wow!

I am really grateful. That's a lot of know-how in your head.

Thanks for sharing it with me and us all

Very best

Dan

Hi

one more thing, if you select File -> Publish Settings -> swf. local playback security and choose - Access network only

okay. that's good!! cheers again!
