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,

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);

Probably solved the seekbar issue.
If anyone happen to have the same problem in the future:
Seems I can get it working by making two seekbars and encapsulating them in
container_mc's.
On "newSize" i set the new size of both seekbars, do remove movieclip on
"prev_container.seekBarHandle_mc" then set "flvplayback.seekBar =
new_container.new_SeekBar".
Then i hide the "prev_container" with _visible=false and make the
"new_container" _visible=true.
The handle is now draggable and i remove the old dead handles, the
left/right limits are updated and the visuals are also updated.
Thanks for listening :)

Hi List,
I would like to make a FLV player that scales up the width depending on
Stage.width.
The width is different depending on size when starting up, and the user
monitor size when in fullscreen.
I am using the FLVPlayback component AS2.0 (several months of work put in
already).
Video can easily be scaled up, but the seekbar is a big problem.
When i change the width of the seekbar, the flvplayback/seekbar does not
"realize" the new limits of the handle.
Most often the seekBar just takes on a temporary look but then reverts back
after video-end.
So no new left-right limits + temporary graphic change.
Solutions tried:
Placing differently sized seekbars of the same name in different keyframes,
jumping between keyframes (no change at all)
Setting width: "seekBar._width = 300" or "seekBar.progress_mc._width = 300"
(temporary background-only change)
Switching streams after width-change to force update.
Having double seekbars, updating the size of one, then switching between
them (flvplb.seekBar = seekBar2).
Works really well for the new limits, the handle now moves between new
limits. Problem with this solution is that the new handle is not clickable.
Also, there are a lot of "dead handles" from the previous switches. The
"click-area" remains behind the first dead handle.
I managed to remove the graphics of previous handles by
using "handle_mc.removeMovieClip()", but the new handle does not get
assigned the functionality"onPress" -> "startDragging.."
Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Probably solved the seekbar issue. If anyone happen to have the same problem in the future: Seems I can get it working by making two seekbars and encapsulating them in container_mc's. On "newSize" i set the new size of both seekbars, do remove movieclip on "prev_container.seekBarHandle_mc" then set "flvplayback.seekBar = new_container.new_SeekBar". Then i hide the "prev_container" with _visible=false and make the "new_container" _visible=true. The handle is now draggable and i remove the old dead handles, the left/right limits are updated and the visuals are also updated.
