Stopping video content when changing the panel

(2007-08-01 - views: 4269)
Q: When you open the accordion panel, the swf loads the stream video, but
when you close the panel to see/watch another panel of the accordion,
the stream video keeps playing hidden even the audio keeps going....

Is there a way to stop it?

can this work when a movie clip is the content?

You need to access the contents of the panel and simply call a stop() function to stop the playhead of your movie.

I have a stop function on the timeline of my movieclip, but I want the movie clip to REPLAY from frame 1 if the panel is accessed again. Currently, If you return to a panel whose movieclip has already played, the movieclip remains on the last frame of the timeline.

Just call gotoAndPlay() on your loaded movie clip.

I want the movieclip to replay ONLY if the Panel is accessed again (I don't want it to continuously loop) therefore the actionscript would somehow have to be attached to the component I would think. Any way you could give me a sample of this?

In that case, you just need to listen to the onPress or onRelease events to know when a panel has been selected and then simply access the content of the panel and call the gotoAndPlay(1) function on that content. You should probably stop any other previous content that might be playing.

Since my panel objects are contained within an instance of your Accordian Panel component, I'm not sure of the exact syntax for listening for an event on a specific panel.

Can you please provide a code sample in AS2 that creates a listener for an OnRelease mouse event that is then subscribed to by an instance of Accordian Panel so that it can react to an event involving a specific panel?

Thank you!

Thanks, I got the movieclips to replay, but now the component seems to get sluggish after clicking around a few times. You mentioned something about also stopping any content that might be playing - how would I do this? Is there a script that tells all movieclips to stop? Do you think that not stopping the playing clips is causing the sluggishness of the panels?

If you had a video playing just before you selected another panel, off course you have to stop that video (or movie clip) from playing. You can access the panel contents the same way and stop the clip. In fact, you could go through all the panels (except the one that's been selected) and stop the contents.

I have stopped all movieclips by accessing the panel contents but the component is still sluggish. I'm using it for a project due thursday and must solve this issue before then. any other ideas to increase the performance of the panels? Any way you can take a look at my FLA?

Hello.
I saw a website that seems to use a simular component (advansed XML accordion)
http://www.ecco.com/pl/pl/index.jsp
Ia the a way to achieve simular effect with your component??
swf files play only when a certain plate opens during autoplay, all animation stops and only selected page starts playing + autoplay resumes after a few seconds…

Thank you for your time.

You could achieve a similar effect with this component but you'll have to write code for that. The main idea is that you need to access the contents of the panel, after the panel opens and start playing the contents. Also, before closing the panel, you have to stop the content from playing.

Here are a few resources that might help you out:
