I am using the Stop() method on a QuickTime movie as a part of a
Lightbox-esque player window. This is all hand-rolled, I am trying to
figure this out as a learning exercise as well as to get it to work.
I have a named function that gets set up in the main page, and then
the click that invokes it is part of the lightbox layer.
The reason why I need the Stop in there is that if you don't manually
stop the movie from playing before closing the lightbox layer, the
sound continues playing in Safari. Firefox does not have this
problem, properly cleaning up the plug-in when the layer is removed.
var closer = function(){
$('play_background').hide();
if(document.qtplayer) document.qtplayer.Stop();
$('play').replace('<div id="play"><!-- --></div>');
window.status = '';
};
//inside the content that updates the "play" container
<p class="center close"><a href="javascript:closer();" id="close"
title="close">close</a></p>
Firebug reports that Stop is not a function. I can imagine why it
doesn't think so, because we are inside an anonymous function
already, and the QuickTime stuff was never declared. So how do I get
this to work in this context, with a movie object that does not exist
at the time that the function is declared?
Is this another fine example of where to use bindAsEventListener or
the like? If so, where in the chain does it belong?
My next question is how on earth do you do the close click
unobtrusively with Event.observe -- but I'll wait to have it all
working first and then plunge into that end of the pool.
Thanks in advance,
Walter
