Pause button javascript function, Need Help....
Dec. 26, 2007james
Hello,
I am new to coding and have been playing around with the media player and saw that it was possible to use javascript to stop / play the selected video.
I copied the entire page from the javascript example and when I try it live, there is no luck.
You can see the page at:
http://www.sumoyo.com/-sfghtog.htm
Would like to also know if you can a mouse over the link to pause?
Appreciate any help.

you need to upload the mediaplayer.swf and swfobject.js as well as the playlist to your own site along with sfghtog.htm -
(and change the paths in the page accordingly)
you cannot control a player from another site with the javascript api for flash security reasons!

Hi Andersen,
Thanks for the help and that's why you guys are the experts.
Also wanted to know what would be the only Javascript I would need to keep on this page to have the pauseplay function still work?

heres code for a full page with only a play/pause button
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendEvent(typ,prm) { thisMovie("mpl").sendEvent(typ,prm); };
function thisMovie(movieName) {
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
return window[movieName];
} else {
return document[movieName];
}
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="player"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash</a> to see this Player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject('mediaplayer.swf','mpl','320','320','8');
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addVariable("file","playlist.xml");
s1.addVariable("enablejs","true");
s1.addVariable("javascriptid","mpl");
s1.addVariable("width","320");
s1.addVariable("height","320");
s1.addVariable("displayheight","240");
s1.write('player');
</script>
<a href="javascript:sendEvent('playpause')">Toggle the pause state</a>.
</body>
</html>

Hi Andersen,
This all works great, thank you for your help.
A few additional questions.
Is it possible to have this function only perform a pause function? If so how?
Also if we wanted to set this up as embedded code what would our string need to look like to include the javascript functions?
Greatly appreciate all of your guidance.

try use the stop command instead: <a href="javascript:sendEvent('stop')">Stop loading and playing</a> please also checkout the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/wizard.html]wizard[/url]

I just use:
my_ns.pause();
inside a function using my moviclip name for the interaction. I know that this isn't javascript, but it works if you have access to the actionscript code of the player.

...forgot to mention that this uses the netstream object, where "my_ns" is the name of the netstream.
