player multi-FLV with XML

[Heelie]

Hello,
I create for myself a multi FLV player with XML , i want the users to press an image (there'll be 4 images) and then the video is loading.
I try to make a function creaVignettes with createEmptyMovieClip but nothing is happening, images aren't coming, i don't understand why, can somebody try to explain it????

Thank you

playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.load("playlist.xml");


titre = new Array;
cheminVideo = new Array;
cheminVignettes = new Array;


playlist.onLoad=function () {
var i:Number;
nombre=playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for(i=0; i<nombre;i++){
titre[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild;
cheminVideo[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild;
cheminVignettes[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild;
trace (titre[i]);
trace (cheminVideo[i]);
trace (cheminVignettes[i]);
creaVignette();
}

}

function creaVignette(i){

_root.attachMovie("cadre","cadre"+i,i+1);
_root["cadre"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("vignette",1);

_root["cadre"+i].vignette._x=0;
_root["cadre"+i].vignette._y=0;

_root["cadre"+i].vignette._xscale=60;
_root["cadre"+i].vignette._yscale=60;

cheminPhoto=cheminVignette[i];
_root["cadre"+i].vignette.loadMovie(""+cheminPhoto+"");

if (i==0){
_root["cadre"+i]._y=445;
_root["cadre"+i]._x=30;
}else{
_root["cadre"+i]._x=_root["cadre"+(i-1)]._x+90;
_root["cadre"+i]._y=445;
}

_root["cadre"+i].onPress=function () {
monFlux.close();
lectureVideo(i);
}
}

Well I was unable to really test it all the way, since I wasn't sure how your stage was setup. However this code is basically writing over each image with a new one, so if you get it to work only one image will be loaded anyways.

Also here is a revised set of code which still only displays the last image loaded

playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.load("playlist.xml");


titre = new Array;
cheminVideo = new Array;
cheminVignettes = new Array;


playlist.onLoad=function () {
	var i:Number;
	nombre=playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length;
	for(i=0; i<nombre;i++){
		titre[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild;
		cheminVideo[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild;
		cheminVignettes[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild;
		creaVignette(i,cheminVignettes[i]);
	}
}

function creaVignette(i,cheminPhoto){
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("vignette",1);
	
	_root.vignette._x=0;
	_root.vignette._y=0;
	
	_root.vignette._xscale=60;
	_root.vignette._yscale=60;
	
	cheminPhoto=cheminVignettes[i];
	trace(cheminPhoto);
	_root.vignette.loadMovie(cheminPhoto);
	
	if (i==0)
	{
		_root._y=0;
		_root._x=0;
	}
	else
	{
		_root._x=_root._x+90;
		_root._y=0;
	}

_root.onPress=function () {
monFlux.close();
lectureVideo(i);
}
}

What would be better is to load each image into a new movieClip, and then place them, IMO.

Thank you for your help but i didn't get this working completely, i try your way but i didn't succeed ...

i'm sorry i think i need more help...

Did you create the original file for this flash program or was it written by somebody else? It helps me to know how familiar you are with Flash and with this code.

If you notice, the code I provided doesn't work completely, but it is hard for me to provide help when I don't have more information about what you want. Do you have the FLA to link so I can see how things are placed on the stage?

I create the file because i'm doing it for myself to be more familiar with Flash and XML... but i'm not a pro

Here is a link to download the file
