adding event listener (go to url)

[anagiga]

I am developing a page in html. I have a div which is playing a flash video. After the flash video stops, I want to take the user to a different url in the same window.
I tried this function but it doesn't work:

<script type="text/javascript">
 
function onVideoStopped(evt:VideoEvent):void
{
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://google.com");
    navigateToURL(url, "_self");
}
</script>

Any suggestions???
THANKS!!!!!

I don’t know, what code it is, but it is not JavaScript.

JavaScript is a loosely typed language, so the stuff with the colon (which I suspect as type hinting) should throw errors.

even without that, there are problems

<script type="text/javascript">
function onVideoStopped(VideoEvent)
{
// URLRequest is not defined
// any new call "new URLRequest()" will use the local variable and thus fail (in most cases)
    var URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://google.com");
// navigateToUrl() is not defined
// url is not defined
    navigateToURL(url, "_self");
}
</script>
 

event listeners are defined using the addEventListener() method (at least where DOM is concerned).

onVideoStopped is not a HTML event.

but I don’t know, how the flash implementation of JavaScript works, so you better ask in the Flash Forum.

do you have any suggestions on how to fix the code?

not with 'standard' JavaScript (JavaScript used in HTML)

I am a new developer, so I am just beginning to learn javascript. I come from a flash background. I want to write a function in javascript if possible, not in actionscript. I need to add an event listener to a video after it has played. Can I do that in javascript?

[Dormilich]

the problem will be to tell, when the video finished playing, since playing a video is nothing HTML is concerned about. you would need the video object dispatching an event, to do something with JavaScript.
