flash actionscript: Can someone point me to a tutorial or page to make this idea work?

I want to loop a different .flv after the movie player played the initial .flv file.

Kinda depends on your application such as are you using the FLVPlayer or
writing Actionscript yourself. Where are the FLV URI's stored or gotten?

If the FLVPlayer, just change the contentPath property
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003539.html.
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = streamURI;

If AS
my_ns.close();
my_ns.play(streamURI);

In either case you could keep the FLV URIs in an array or get them from a
ComboBox or other possible design choices.

Thanks

Thanks Motion Maker.

I am using the Flash 8 video player component that has a component panel which
I can input one movie path url. How can it tell it to loop a second movie after
the first one is done?

Please advise.

We are assuming "Flash 8 video player" means the FLVPlayback Flash 8
component.

You need to give the FLVPlayer instance a name in the properties window on
stage. Ex below uses myFlvPlayer.

Clear the contentPath parameter on stage in the properties window.

Add this code to the timeline:

var myPlayListIndex:Number = -1;
var myPlayList:Array = new Array();


// Add these lines for each flv file
myPlayList.push("yourfirst.flv");
myPlayList.push("yourSecond.flv");
myPlayList.push("yourthird.flv");



function playNextFlv()
{
trace("playNextFlv()");
if (myPlayListIndex < myPlayList.length - 1)
{

myFlvPlayer.contentPath = myPlayList[++ myPlayListIndex];

}
}

myFlvPlayerListener = new Object()
myFlvPlayerListener.complete = function(evt)
{
trace("myFlvPlayerListener.complete - evt:" + evt.target);
playNextFlv()
}
myFlvPlayer.addEventListener("complete", myFlvPlayerListener);
playNextFlv();

import mx.video.*;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void
{
my_FLVPlybk.play();
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath =
"http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv";
