Well, I got it working to my satisfaction. Definitely hacky, but at
least it works. In case anyone else is looking for this, the code used
is below (the FLVPlayback component instance name is "videoScreen").
//////////////////////////// BEGIN CODE ////////////////////////////
private function enableVideoControls( set_enabled:Boolean )
{
trace("enableVideoControls, to: " + set_enabled );
// ensure that we have modified the controls to understand being
disabled
backupControlFunctions();
for (var i : Number = 0; i <
videoScreen["_uiMgr"].controls.length; i++) {
videoScreen["_uiMgr"].controls[i].disabled = !set_enabled;
}
}
private function backupControlFunctions()
{
for (var i : Number = 0; i <
videoScreen["_uiMgr"].controls.length; i++) {
var videoControl = videoScreen["_uiMgr"].controls[i];
if ( typeof(videoControl) == "movieclip" &&
videoControl._name != "volumeBar_mc" &&
videoControl._name != "volumeBarHandle_mc" &&
videoControl._name != "volumeMute_mc" &&
videoControl._name != "on_mc" &&
videoControl._name != "off_mc"){
trace("backupControlFunctions for videoControl " +
videoControl);
if ( videoControl.oldOnPress == undefined &&
videoControl.onPress != undefined ){
videoControl.oldOnPress = videoControl.onPress;
videoControl.onPress = function(){
trace("onPress on " + this + " disabled: " +
this.disabled );
if (this.disabled != true){
this.oldOnPress.apply(this, arguments);
}
}
}
if ( videoControl.oldOnRelease == undefined &&
videoControl.onRelease != undefined ){
videoControl.oldOnRelease = videoControl.onRelease;
videoControl.onRelease = function(){
trace("onRelease on " + this + " disabled: " +
this.disabled );
if (this.disabled != true){
this.oldOnRelease.apply(this, arguments);
}
}
}
if ( videoControl.oldOnReleaseOutside == undefined &&
videoControl.onReleaseOutside != undefined ){
videoControl.oldOnReleaseOutside =
videoControl.onReleaseOutside;
videoControl.onReleaseOutside = function(){
trace("onReleaseOutside on " + this + "
disabled: " + this.disabled );
if (this.disabled != true){
this.oldOnReleaseOutside.apply(this, arguments);
}
}
}
}
}
}
//////////////////////////// END CODE ////////////////////////////

I would like to be able to toggle whether the controls for a Flash 8
FLVPlayback component are enabled. I don't want to hide them all
(like the skinAutoHide attribute does), rather keep them visible but
non-interactive. Preferably I would like to control this per item, as
I would like to leave the audio controls interactive.
I have found there is an attribute
FLVPlaybackInstance._uiMgr._controlsEnabled which enables and disables
all of the button controls (although unfortunately not the seek bar).
I am currently experimenting with enabling and disabling all of the
mouse events for the movieclips in FLVPlaybackInstance._uiMgr.controls
, but it isn't looking hopeful.
