video cutting out before end

[Hanibal webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I've got the video playing in a window with Flash, however it only plays the number of frames in the host movie. I want the length to last to the end of the video in the window.

I'm not sure how to make the host movie persist


code

// Create a NetConnection object:
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection:
netConn.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function:
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status.text += "Status (NetStream)" + newline;
status.text += "Level: "+infoObject.level + newline;
status.text += "Code: "+infoObject.code + newline;
};
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object:
my_video.attachVideo(netStream);
// Set the buffer time:
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
// Being playing the FLV file:
netStream.play("videoFile.flv");

i am not sure what your problem is.

do you have a stop(); in the root level timeline?

can you use setInterval to pause the timeline as needed for the length of the movie?

can you load the swf into a MC and use the new event handlers such as loadComplete?

whats the MC?

I only have one layer and one time line and all this script is in the first frame?

MC=movieclip
You can load video files in swf into a movieclip and control its behaviors.
Check your documentation for this.

From what I gather, you have inserted a quicktime video file into your timeline. If this is the case, your best bet is to use setInterval() to pause the movie.

Then again you best bet is to load the movie dynamically--using the above method or loadMovie().

tell me more and I can help you more
