IE6 - Sound continues after close

Hi, thanks for the support forums.

In IE6, the video plays correctly, but when I press close (using Lightbox), the audio continues to play. This does not happen in Firefox. Here is the code:

<embed
src="http://www.mandomandarin.com/media/videos/mediaplayer.swf"
width="430"
height="360"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="height=356&width=426&file=http://www.mandomandarin.com/media/videos/introduction.flv&searchbar=false&autostart=true&searchbar=false&shownavigation=false">
</embed>

Inside the Header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mandomandarin.com/media/videos/swfobject.js"></script>

The page that has the link for the video (pops up on top of this page):

<div class="home_bt">
<a href="movie.html" class="lightwindow page-options" params="lightwindow_width=430,lightwindow_height=360"><img src="movie.gif" border="0" alt="Mando Mandarin Video" /></a>
</div><!--end div HOME_BT-->

---------------------

Also, in Firefox, the movie plays for 2 seconds than restarts and plays all the way through. The above problem does not happen in FF.

Thanks so much!

you have to stop the player before hiding it, to prevent it from continuing playing !
use the javascript api and issue a sendEvent('stop'); - http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Javascript_interaction

Stop the movie by adding a parameter "play"="false" before hiding it.

Does anyone understand this? Where am I adding this:

sendEvent('stop');

or

parameter "play"="false"

Do I add this on the HTML page that contains the video? or Do I add this to the jwbox.js file?

Please help!
Thanks!

Hi all,

I had the same problem and fixed it like this:

(note that the code is written using jQuery selectors but it can easily translate into javascript)

if the video player is in some container or lightbox or something like that with a X button to close it, just do this:

$("#button_id").click(function() {
var myVideoPlayer = document.getElementById("myVideoPlayer_id");
myVideoPlayer.sendEvent("PLAY","false");
});

the player will continue to download the video file, using lots of your bandwidth

maybe 'STOP' would be better

my videos are from youtube, so no bandwidth problem :)
Anyway, I'll try STOP.

i meant the user's bandwidth

no point in continuing to download if the player is closed

yes, you're right, I used STOP event and it works, so for others out there:

$("#button_id").click(function() {
var myVideoPlayer = document.getElementById("myVideoPlayer_id");
myVideoPlayer.sendEvent("STOP");
});
