Hey All,

I'm having some trouble with a video player.
This is the code (I started with a tutorial from adobe.com, but the sample files from adobe suffer the same problem)


import fl.video.*;

// Define the variable for the video component instance name
var flvControl = display;

// Create the video playlist
var videoList = ["video1.flv","video2.flv","video3.flv","video4.flv"];
var videoIndex = 0;
var loopAtEnd = true;

// Handle the video completion (load the next video)
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

function completeHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void {
// Get next item in list
videoIndex++;

// Validate index
if (
videoIndex == videoList.length ) {
if ( loopAtEnd ) {
videoIndex = 0;
} else {
return;
}
}

// Load the next video
flvControl.source = videoList[videoIndex];
}

// Set the default video (Start)
flvControl.source = videoList[0];

// Next movie button
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextMovie);
function nextMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
// Get next item in list
videoIndex++;

// Validate index
if (
videoIndex == videoList.length ) {
if ( loopAtEnd ) {
videoIndex = 0;
} else {
return;
}
}

// Load the next video
flvControl.source = videoList[videoIndex];
}

// Controls
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPlay);
function btnPlay(event:MouseEvent):void {
display.play();
}
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnPause);
function btnPause(event:MouseEvent):void {
display.pause();
}

When the first movie ends, the second movie dousn't start, and I get the following error.


TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert fl.video::VideoEvent@494b9f59 to fl.video.MetadataEvent.

Anyone any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

Anyone? :(

well, lets see. It says "cannot convert fl.video::VideoEvent@494b9f59 to fl.video.MetadataEvent" ... so change MetadataEvent to VideoEvent

Thanks again senocular! You're my hero! ;)
