// PSEUDOCODE
// Log-in check occurs to see if a user is logged-in to their MySpace account
// If a user if not logged-in, they will receive an alert message instructing them to log-in when they try to fill out any of the form fields on the left
// If a user ignores the alert message and tries to submit the form without being logged-in, the form will not submit and the user cannot create a custom badge
//  If a user is logged-in, users can input a custom name, title and choose a badge color (optional)
//  Once a user presses the "Preview" button, a preview of the badge will display on the right hand-side along with a button underneath it saying "Get the Code"
// If a user presses the "Get the Code" button, a textarea will show-up on the left-hand side of the badge with the embed code used to generate the badge
//  Users can click on the code within the text area to copy and paste the code into their About Me section, friend's comment galleries or bulletins

CODE SAMPLES

ActionScript Sample (Video Connection and Controls - play, pause, stop, scrubber):

//GlobalSettings @ start
playbutton._visible = false; 
//Netconnection
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); 
nc.connect(null); 
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream (nc); 
ns.setBufferTime(3); 
myVideo.attachVideo(ns);

playbutton.onRelease=function(){
	ns.pause();
	pausebutton._visible=true;
	playbutton._visible=false;
}

pausebutton.onRelease=function(){
	ns.pause();
	pausebutton._visible=false;
	playbutton._visible=true;
}

rewindbutton.onRelease=function(){
	ns.seek(0);
}

var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;

ns["onMetaData"] = function(obj) {
	duration = obj.duration;
	trace(duration);

}

var startwidth:Number=loader.loadbar._width;
function videoStatus(){
	amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded/ns.bytesTotal;
	preloader.percentloaded.text=amountLoaded*100+"% loaded";
	//loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 292;
	loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 292;
	preloader.loadingbar._width=amountLoaded*300;
	
}
	if (amountLoaded =1)
		{
			preloader._visible=false;
		}
	else
		{
			preloader._visible=true;
		}

var scrubInterval;

loader.scrub.onPress = function(){
	clearInterval(videoInterval); //clears the video interval
	scrubInterval = setInterval (scrubit,10); //starts the scrub interval
	this.startDrag(false,0,this._y,292,this._y);
}

	videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100); //starts the video interval
	this.stopDrag();
}

function scrubit(){
	ns.seek(Math.floor((loader.scrub._x/startwidth)*duration)); //returns how far along the scrubber is in seconds of the entire FLV.  
}

//the scrubit function tells the scrub head where to go

amountplayed.multiline=false;
amountplayed.selectable=false;
amountplayed.align="right";
var time_interval:Number = setInterval(checkTime, 500, ns);
function checkTime (ns:NetStream)
{
	var ns_seconds:Number = ns.time;

	if (seconds < 10)
	{
		seconds = "0" + seconds;
	}
	counter.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
	
}

ActionScript Sample (Combo Box - XML for Video):

//ComboBox Population
var playlist:XML = new XML ();
var times:Array = new Array(); 
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function ()
{
	var movies:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
	for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
		{
			cbSelectTutorial.addItem (movies[i].attributes.name,movies[i].attributes.url);
			times.push(movies[i].attributes.length); //stores the total length of each movie from the XML file in this array
		}
			ns.play(cbSelectTutorial.getItemAt (0).data);
			//totaltime._visible=false;
			//total1._visible=false;
			//total2._visible=false;
			//counter._visible=false;
};

var movList:Object = new Object ();
movList.change = function ()
{
	ns.play (cbSelectTutorial.getItemAt (cbSelectTutorial.selectedIndex).data);
	totaltime.text = times[cbSelectTutorial.selectedIndex];
	//totaltime._visible=true; 
	//total1._visible=true;
	//total2._visible=true;
	//counter._visible=true;
	//pausebutton._visible= true;
	//playbutton._visible = true;

};

cbSelectTutorial.addEventListener ("change",movList);
playlist.load ("tutorials.xml");
