Linking FLV Files with AS3

[platinumb]

ok so i've created (X) amount of .flv's and i basically want a slide show but i didn't want to make it all one file bfcuase the time line would be longer then my life can anyone help me out? i need to link all the files so that when i play the first one it will auto load the rest one after another.

Are you using the FLV Playback Component or are you just loading the movies in with a loader?

Essentially, what you'll need is a listener to listen for the COMPLETE event of the FLV. Then that would be connected to a function that calls on the next movie. I've seen this as an FLA you can purchase on FlashDen (http://www.flashden.net).

No, need to purchase it, its really easy

var movieArray = new Array ("/flvs/flv1.flv", "/flvs/flv2.flv","/flvs/flv3.flv", etc);
var nextIndex = 0;
flvPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playNextVideo);
flvPlayback.autoPlay = true;
flvPlayback.source = movieArray[nextIndex];
function playNextVideo(e:VideoEvent):void
{
nextIndex++
if(nextIndex >= movieArray.length)
{
nextIndex = 0;
}
flvPlayback.source = movieArray[nextIndex];

}
