flash xml playlist

May 8th, 2008, 8:31 am

I am new to flash and I have a questions that I think should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm creating a flash page with an xml video player, and my actionscript works fine, but I would like to add thumbnails to the playlist. Can anyone help me with that. Below is the actionscript that I am using.

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
2. var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
3. loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
4.  
5. myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);
6.  
7. function itemChange(e:Event):void {
8.     //myPlayer.load(myList.selectedItem.data);
9.     myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
10. }
11.  
12. var xml:XML;
13.  
14. function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
15.  
16.     xml = new XML(e.target.data);
17.     var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
18.     for (var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++) {
19.         myList.addItem({label:il.description.text()[i],
20.         data:il.title.text()[i]});
21.     }
22. }
23.  
24. loader.load(new URLRequest("VideoPlayerData.xml"));
25. myPlayer.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, nextFLV);
26. function nextFLV(e:Event):void {
27.  
28.     var ds = myList.selectedIndex;
29.     var dsl = myList.length;
30.     if (myList.selectedIndex == 0) {
31.         trace("if = yes: "+dsl);
32.         myList.selectedIndex = (+1);
33.         myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
34.     } else {
35.         if ((ds+1) == dsl) {
36.             myList.selectedIndex = 0;
37.             myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
38.         } else {
39.             trace("if = else");
40.             myList.selectedIndex = (ds+1);
41.             myPlayer.play(""+myList.selectedItem.data);
42.         }
43.     }
44. }

I believe this is what you need

Thought it was rather funny. Your same question at Adobe forums is already indexed by Google as the first result. I found that Adobe link as a secondary link under your result. Check out what I mean

It was almost as if Google was answering your question for you. Really kinda spooky. *lol
