Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Changing width of seekBar during playback (AS2, FLVPlayback)
The following works for me:
FLVPlayback and SeekBar instance on stage.
A button that, when clicked, will toggle the size of the seekbar.
In the button click handler:
- resize the seekbar
- set the seekBar property of the video playback to null
- remove the seekbar handle (seekBarHandle_mc) which is otherwise left behind
- reset the seekBar property of the video playback to the same instance as
before
var SMALL_WIDTH:Number = 100;
var LARGE_WIDTH:Number = 320;
video_fpb.seekBar = video_sb;
video_fpb.contentPath = paramore_decode_live.flv;
function resizeClickHandler(o:Object):Void {
trace(Application ::: resizeClickHandler);
trace(- seekbar width: + video_sb._width);
video_sb._width = (video_sb._width == SMALL_WIDTH) ? LARGE_WIDTH : SMALL_WIDTH;
video_fpb.seekBar = null;
removeMovieClip(seekBarHandle_mc);
video_fpb.seekBar = video_sb;
}
video_sb._width = SMALL_WIDTH;
resize_btn.addEventListener(click, resizeClickHandler);

See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/13_Working_with_XML_08.html#131880 One of the examples there shows XML stored in var x with a list of employee id=23/ type elements, and you can use this syntax to get an XMLList of employees with id attributes over 300: x.employee.(@id 300) Similarly, if you had a birthdate field stored as milliseconds since 1970 you could filter on that like so: x.employee.(new Date(@birthdate).getFullYear() == 2000) to return a list of employees who were born in the year 2000.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Changing width of seekBar during playback (AS2, FLVPlayback)
Thanks Muzak,
Seems like setting it to null loses the reference, and then since it's not
the same, the seekBar property can be updated again.
Working with Flash often leads to creative workarounds.. :)
Cheers,
