538 FLVPlayback Component (Flash Professional Only)
ActionScript
The seek bar and volume bar support the following additional properties:
Background and foreground clips
The movie clips chrome_mc and forwardBackBorder_mc are implemented as background
clips.
Of the ForwardBackBorder, ForwardBorder, and BackBorder movie clips on the Stage and the
placeholder Forward and Back buttons, the only one that is not on a guide layer is
ForwardBackBorder. It is only in the skins that actually use the Forward and Back buttons.
No additional ActionScript is required to set up the background and foreground clips.
Modifying skin behavior
The bufferingBarHidesAndDisablesOthers property and the skinAutoHide property
allow you to customize the behavior of your FLVPlayback skin.
Setting the
bufferingBarHidesAndDisablesOthers property to true causes the
FLVPlayback component to hide the SeekBar and its handle as well as disable the Play and
Pause buttons when the component enters the buffering state. This can be useful when an
FLV file is streaming from FCS over a slow connection with a high setting for the
bufferTime property (10, for example). In this situation, an impatient user might try to start
seeking by clicking the Play and Pause buttons, which could delay playing the file even longer.
You can prevent this activity by setting
bufferingBarHidesAndDisablesOthers to true
and disabling the SeekBar element and the Pause and Play buttons while the component is in
the buffering state.
The
skinAutoHide property affects only predesigned skin SWF files and not controls created
from the FLV Playback Custom UI components. If set to
true, the FLVPlayback component
hides the skin when the mouse is not over the viewing area. The default value of this property
is
true.
