Play local FLV file using AS 2.0

[seanocaster]

Hi guys,

I'm using basic AS2 for loading up a video file and playing it. While playing it, i needed to pause it as say, 5 seconds and then wait for me to push a button. Upon pushing the button it should resume. Please look at this and let me know where i'm going wrong? The video loads, and plays, and pauses at 5 seconds as meant to. It also shows the button which is, until that point hidden. But the button doesn't un-pause when i click? The funny thing is, the button does pause and un-pause if you use it anytime before the loop has implemented the stop.

Here's the code to load the video:

// load video
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
myNetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer1.attachVideo(myNetStream);
myNetStream.play("_assets/16_airplane.flv");

// show timer
function checkTime() {
var ns_seconds:Number = myNetStream.time();
trace(ns_seconds)
}

// monitor the time and stop when meant to
setInterval(checkTime,10);
function checkTime():Void{
if(Math.floor(myNetStream.time) == 5){
btn_sometimes._alpha = 20;
myNetStream.pause();
}
}

And here's the code on the button:

on (release) {
	myNetStream.play();
	
}

Any ideas?

Hi,

var ns_checker:Number;
var ns_seconds:Number;
var ns_trueTime:Number;

ns_checker = setInterval(checkTime, 10);

function checkTime():Void
{
    ns_seconds = Math.floor(myNetStream.time);
    trace(ns_seconds);
    
    ns_trueTime = myNetStream.time;
    trace(ns_trueTime);

    if (ns_seconds >= 5)
    {
        btn_sometimes._alpha = 20;
        myNetStream.pause();

        clearInterval(ns_checker);
    }
} 

on (release)
{
    _root.myNetStream.pause();
} 

or

on (release)
{
    _parent.myNetStream.pause();
} 

or

on (release)
{
    this._parent.myNetStream.pause();
}
