Hi... I will appreciate the help of any good coder out there to figure out something simple for you but really hard for a beginner VB.net coder like me :-)

I am using the Flash-Video control to create a simple page that has a "Video Tutorial" button. When the user clicks it, I need to load/play a video on client side; and then hide it upon completion or upon clicking a "Stop Video" button (using the GUI control).

If anybody has done something similar, I would appreciate to see some code for that. Thanks in advance to all.

Hi Jake,

Your feedback for my last 2 posts has been great. Thanks for your prompt reply and for the information provided.

I got my code to play/stop the video on client side. I added the buttons:
<input type="button" value="PlayMedia" onclick='ASPNetMedia.FlashVideo("FlashVideo1").PlayMedia ()'/>
<input type="button" value="StopMedia" onclick='ASPNetMedia.FlashVideo("FlashVideo1").StopMedia ()'/>

Since it's a green screen/transparent video, when the video is stopped, the content in the background is not selectable. Therefore I am also using the following Javascript:

ASPNetMedia.FlashVideo("FlashVideo1").OnStop = function(object, position) {
document.getElementById('<%= FlashVideo1.ClientID %>').style.display = 'none';
}

ASPNetMedia.FlashVideo("FlashVideo1").OnPlay = function(object, position) {
document.getElementById('<%= FlashVideo1.ClientID %>').style.display = '';
}

When stopping, everything works fine (and I can select the background content), but I can't get the video to re-play the video again. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance :-)
