I have a problem with my slideshow script. I have embedding a flash video file into my website with this slideshow called monoslideshow, and everything seems to work perfectly. Trouble is, when I am clicking on another menu button that should jump to another frame, it still keeps playing the video and sound while displaying the new menu data. So I will probably need some code that stops the video instantly, when another menu button is clicked. But how do I write it and where do I put it?
Here is my actionscript for the video file to show:
var loaderSlide:Loader = new Loader();
var monoslideshow:Object;
loaderSlide.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
addChild(loaderSlide);
loaderSlide.load(new URLRequest("monoslideshow.swf"));
function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
monoslideshow = event.target.content;
monoslideshow.showLogo = false;
monoslideshow.setViewport(new Rectangle(730, 20, 700, 660));
var xml:XML =
<album title="TITLE" itemPath="photography/makingoff/" thumbnailPath="thumbnails/">
<contents>
<video source="VIDEO.flv" />
</contents>
</album>
monoslideshow.loadXML(xml);
}
It would be great to get a solution to this problem, otherwise my website will be kinda messy ;)
THANK YOU!!
Ok, I found the answer now. Just for people who might be having the same problem.
I put in some code for the new menu button.
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();
monoslideshow.visible = false;
This stops all sounds and makes the slideshow invisible. Quick and simple :)
