Hi Bill - thanks for the response.
I haven't found the "proper" solution yet either, but I do have a
hack...
1) Attach an event listener to the VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE event
2) Inside that listener, check if the video is supposed to end within
0.5 seconds (or some threshold)
3) If video is supposed to be ending very soon, start a timer, attach
event listener to its TIMER_COMPLETE event
4) Once the TIMER_COMPLETE event fires, check if (a) the video claims
it's still playing and (b) the video that was playing 0.5 seconds ago is
the same video that is supposedly playing now, if yes, just dispatch the
videoDisplay's VideoEvent.COMPLETE event
Attach an event listener to the videodisplay's
VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE event
playheadUpdate() {
if (videoDisplay.totalTime - videoDisplay.playheadTime < .5) {
// The video is supposed to end withing .5 seconds, and normally you
would expect
// the complete event to fire
set vidSource = videoDisplay.source
start some timer that will fire in (videoDisplay.totalTime -
videoDisplay.playheadTime + .5) seconds, i.e. 0.5 seconds after the
complete event should fire.
attach a TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE event to the Timer
}
}
timerComplete() {
if (videoDisplay.playing && videoDisplay.source = vidSource) {
videoDisplay.dispatchEvent(new VideoEvent(VideoEvent.COMPLETE));
}
}
What do you think about that?
