Syncing Parallel Elements

Looks like this example works great for bufferable elements, but if any of the elements being played in parallel are not bufferable (DurationElements) then the implementation fails.

Update: ...fails in the sense that the duration element is not paused while the other elements are buffering.

I discovered, through bandwidth restriction, that this SynchronizedParallelElement example doesn't actually work when trying to play two bufferable videos in sync. I modified the updatePlayState function as follows to get it to work as expected. This change also fixes the issue with a duration element not pausing while other elements are buffering as mentioned above.

private function updatePlayState(..._):void

{

     if(bufferable)

     {

          trace("buffering:"+bufferable.buffering);

          trace("bufferTime:"+bufferable.bufferTime);

          trace("bufferLength:"+bufferable.bufferLength);

          if(playable)

          {

               trace("playstate:"+playable.playState);

               if(!paused

                  && bufferable.buffering

                  && playable.canPause

                  && bufferable.bufferLength < bufferable.bufferTime)

               {

                    playable.pause();

                    paused = true;

               }

               else if(paused

                       && (!bufferable.buffering || bufferable.bufferLength >= bufferable.bufferTime))

               {

                    playable.play();

                    paused = false;

               }

          }

     }

}
