AS3 - detect touch/click on StageVideo

Question

I need to stop and remove a StageVideo when the user clicks the video. anybody know how to go about doing that?

Answer 1

While the answer may vary depending on implementation, at the most basic level, you'd do something like this where v is your StageVideo instance:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);

function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if(v.viewPort.contains(e.stageX, e.stageY)){
        trace("stage video clicked!!!")
    }
}

Listen on the stage for a Click event, then see if the x/y coordinates of the mouse click are contained in the viewport of the StageVideo.

Though a more common approach is to put a transparent sprite over the video:

var videoOverlay:Sprite = new Sprite();
videoOverlay.graphics.beginFill(0,0);
videoOverlay.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, v.viewPort.width, v.viewPort.height);
videoOverlay.x = v.viewPort.x;
videoOverlay.y = v.viewPort.y;
addChild(videoOverlay);

videoOverlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, videoClick);

function videoClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("video Clicked");
}
