Hello everyone! So, I have to build a movie that gets a list of preexisting .flv files from an .xml document, starts playing the first one, and the user has the ability to change what video they are viewing by either going “up” or “down” in the list.
There doesn’t have to be any thumbnail interface or anything for the videos, there are just two buttons “+” and “-” that cycle through the available videos.
I’ve started building it, and am a little stumped. Here is how I think it should work:
-
Flash reads the .xml, creates an array of the names of the videos.
-
Flash starts playing the first video on the list, and if there are multiple videos, the “+” and “-” buttons appear
-
When the button gets pressed, it either goes to the following, or proceeding video in the array.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Any recommendations or ideas?
Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated.
