I read through the tutorials for Paul Newmans vid player. I am trying to make a custom video player class with the code below. Since I am new to custom classes, I am having some difficulties. When I use the code below on the timeline, everything works perfectly. The following Class code displays the video and sound. The mute button works. But the play and pause buttons trace out but do not function. Also, the scrub bar and load progress bar dont work.
I have been at this for hours! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
