Coub provides the player that can be loaded into an ActionScript application as a MovieClip class extension.
To embed the player with a coub video, you need to set it up, using the Loader class from flash.display
package, and write functions that handle its events.
On this link you can find a full example of the loaded Flash player with a coub video (note, that embedded in this way player starts automatically when the page is loaded):
https://gist.github.com/over/a59ddf20b86e84032cce
When the player's SWF is loaded you can initialize handlers for several player's playback events.
When the player is loaded:
loader.content.addEventListener("onReady", function (e:Event) {
trace('on ready');
});
When the video starts playing:
loader.content.addEventListener("onPlayStarted", function (e:Event) {
trace('on play started');
});
When the video is paused:
loader.content.addEventListener("onPlayPaused", function (e:Event) {
trace('on play paused');
});
When the video starts playing over again after it is finished:
loader.content.addEventListener("onLoopOccured", function (e:Event) {
trace('on loop occured');
});
}
Also, loaded player's SWF contains dispathers for several player status events, so you can write corresponding listener functions:
onPlayerReady
function receives Event.data
object which contains the current player's API identifier:
public function onPlayerReady(event:Event):void {
trace("test loader event");
}
onPlayerError
function receives Event.data
object which contains the error code:
public function onPlayerError(event:Event):void {
trace("player error:", Object(event).data);
}
onPlayerStateChange
function receives Event.data
object which contains the updated status of the player:
public function onPlayerStateChange(event:Event):void {
trace("player state:", Object(event).data);
}
onVideoPlaybackQualityChange
function receives Event.data
object which contains the updated quality of the coub video:
public function onVideoPlaybackQualityChange(event:Event):void {
trace("video quality:", Object(event).data);
}
