pause and unpause flv

[cmills83]

Hi, everything works fine, the movie pauses fine but when I unpause it replays it from the beginning. How do I make it continue playing from where it was paused? Thanks!

import mx.utils.Delegate;
#include "mc_tween2.as"

var netConnection = new NetConnection();
netConnection.connect(null);
var netStream = new NetStream(netConnection);
netStream.setBufferTime(2);
VideoHolder.iVideo.attachVideo(netStream);

netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {

	var statusCode = infoObject.code;
	var netStartPlay:String = "NetStream.Play.Start";
	var netStopPlay:String = "NetStream.Play.Stop";
	var netBufferFull:String = "NetStream.Buffer.Full";

	switch (statusCode) {

		case netStartPlay :
			VideoHolder.alphaTo(100,.5,"easeInSine");
			break;

		case netStopPlay :
			VideoHolder.alphaTo(0,.5,"easeOutSine")
			break;

	}
}

var isPlaying = false;

function playVideo(inURL:String) {
	netStream.play(inURL);
	isPlaying = true;
}

controls.playBtn.onRelease=function() {
if( isPlaying == false ) {
	playVideo("testmovie.flv");
	controls.playBtn.gotoAndPlay(2);
} 
else {
    controls.playBtn.gotoAndPlay(1);
	isPlaying = false;
	netStream.pause();
}

}

play() starts the NetStream from the beginning. pause() stops or restarts play from where it was. You can also pass true or false i.e. pause(false).

actually as far as i can tell that advice is no good. pause() does nothing whatsoever to movieclips in my project. perhaps it doesn't work in 2.0?

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
if (pausing == false) {
pausing = true;
themesound.stop();
Character_mc.pause(true);

hitting the spacebar does nothing but stop the music in this example.

You stop movieclips with stop(), i.e. myMovieClip.stop();. You pause Netstream objects (video) with pause().

yeah got it working finally! stop() and play() just had to make sure to put it on every single movie clip (needed a pause button in the game im making). definitely PITA but at least it works

I'm trying to pause/unpause an flv from the main timeline. Did this work, and can you please explain how to use the code? Like, if it goes on a button or keyframe. I'm not very good at this part...
