Video end action - load new page

Question

How can I create/add an end action to load a new page once an HTML5 video has played?  Basically trying to have a menu, play videos full screen and have browser return to home page/main menu at the end of the video.  Need to do this in a browser for a kiosk, not use DVD player software so that I can eliminate on-screen controls.

The FLVPlayback class comes with a "complete" event that fires off once the video ends.
Give your FLVPlayback an instance name and simply apply this code in a frame script on the same frame (30, 60, etc). For example if you gave it the instance name myFLVPlayback, then:
// import event
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
// attach event to instance name 'myFLVPlayback', run onCompleteF when at end
myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onCompleteF);
// function that fires
function onCompleteF(e:VideoEvent):void
     // do what you want here, for example,
     // go back to frame 1
     gotoAndStop(1);
If the user pauses the video, do note that this event won't fire. The video must play through to completion for this event to fire.
Also note some not-so-perfectly formed videos can cause the FLVPlayback component to fail to detect the end of the video or fire off this event. This has happened a lot less lately but it has been known to happen. Give it a try!
