Example

The following example listens for a complete event and displays a message in a text area when it occurs.

Drag an FLVPlayback component to the Stage, and give it an instance name of my_FLVPlybk. Drag a TextArea component to the Stage below the FLVPlayback instance, and give it an instance name of my_ta. Then add the following code to the Actions panel on Frame 1 of the Timeline:

Usage 1:: listener object
/**
 Requires:
  - FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of my_FLVPlybk
  - TextArea component on the Stage with an instance name of my_ta
*/
import mx.video.*;
my_ta.visible = false;
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object(); // create listener object
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
        my_ta.text = "That's All Folks!";
        my_ta.visible = true;
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject); 
Usage 2: listener function
/**
 Requires:
  - FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of my_FLVPlybk
  - TextArea component on the Stage with an instance name of my_ta
*/
import mx.video.*;
my_ta.visible = false;
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv";
function the_end(eventObject:Object):Void {
        my_ta.text = "That's All Folks!";
        my_ta.visible = true;
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("complete", the_end);
