Hi. I need some help regarding loading a video on iframe. It works pretty well. However, when I click other video thumbnails while the earlier video is still playing, it won't load the new video until I click the stop button. I've tried it on 2 different machine and also my friend's machine, it is doing the same behavior.
Is there a way to do a javascript code so that when I click on the other video thumbnail, it will send a stop command to the current playing JW player?
Thanks!
I found this and it helped me a lot. It's fixed now.

I'm doing this now to call the stop event from the parent document
print "<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"top.frames['fightiframe'].player.sendEvent('STOP');top.frames['fightiframe'].location.href = 'showvideo.php?fightno=$row[fightno]'; return false\"><img src=\"$row[thumbnailpath]/$row[thumbnailfilename]\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" name=\"$row[fightno]\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" id=\"vidthumb\" /></a> ";
Then on my showvideo.php, I used the same technique mentioned from the link above
function createPlayer() {
var flashvars = {
file:"flv/displayvideo.flv",
autostart:"true"
}
var params = {
allowfullscreen:"true",
allowscriptaccess:"always"
}
var attributes = {
id:"player1",
name:"player1"
}
swfobject.embedSWF("player.swf", "placeholder1", "480", "270", "8", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
}
I have another question, how do I add a background of #000000? And also, I want the bottom control to be color black. Now, it's color gray. How do I make the rectangle color black and the play button, stop button color white?
I read up on implementing skin but the stop button disappeared. So I deleted that solution again.
Thanks,
Neil
To make the background of the Adobe Flash Player black, use the bgcolor parameter:
var params =
{
allowfullscreen: 'true',
allowscriptaccess: 'always',
bgcolor: '#000000'
}For the JW FLV Media Player, there are four "color" flashvars that control the color of various elements of the player.
Reference: http://code.jeroenwijering.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars#Colors
var flashvars =
{
file: 'flv/displayvideo.flv',
frontcolor: 'AAAAAA',
backcolor: 'BBBBBB',
lightcolor: 'CCCCCC',
screencolor: 'DDDDDD',
autostart: 'true'
}NO "#" or other special characters for the "color" flashvars, just a 6-character hexadecimal number.
That is awesome!!! It worked flawlessly!!!
Thank you so much!!!
dear Neil,
I have a mother-page with other video thumbnail in a IFRAME; my player is in mother-page and
I need to do a javascript code that when I click on the other video thumbnail, it will send a stop command to the current playing JW player?
Please have you a solution??
I try this but don't work
top.document.player0.sendEvent('LOAD', {file:'public/Addante-01.flv', image:'public/preview.jpg'});
Post your player code or a link to your test page so we know where to start with the code.
