Pausing and Resuming Video
Problem
You want
to pause or resume video playback.
Solution
Use the pause( ) method of the
NetStream class.
Discussion
The pause( ) method of the
NetStream class allows you to pause and resume playback of a
video. When you call the method without parameters, it toggles the
pause state of the video (pauses if it's playing and resumes if
it's already paused):
videoStream.pause( );
If you pass the method a true value,
the video pauses if it's currently playing, and nothing occurs if
the video is already paused:
videoStream.pause(true);
Likewise, if you call the method with a
false value, it resumes if the video is paused, and
nothing occurs if the video is already playing:
videoStream.pause(false);
Although it's a common mistake, you should not
use the play( ) method to resume playback of a paused video.
The play( ) method is only used to load and start the
initial playback of a video.
