Pause\Play on 1 button on my popup menu

I have a popup that I want to have 1 button that is "pause" when he movie is playing but after pressed it turns into a play button...I know how to animate its state so that it shows "play\pause" graphics but in my script I need to know a good if\then command for this button.

Case "menu_1"

player.playlist.pause();

thats what it is right now and it pauses the video and switches to the "play" graphic for the button...just need a good if\then script for Case "menu_1"

Thanx in advance!

Also I would recommend NOT changing the graphic when the button is pressed, since that won't work if the user presses the pause key manually. Rather, I would trigger the graphic change based on the playstate changing; you can do that in the markup by referencing the $playState XPath variable.

<cue begin="($playState=1)" end="($playState!=1)" select="id('playPauseButton')">
<set style:backgroundColor="blue"/>
</cue>

<cue begin="($playState=2)" end="($playState!=2)" select="id('playPauseButton')">
<set style:backgroundColor="red"/>
</cue>

Interesting. Peter, is there a list of all player properties usable through XPath variables somewhere in the spec
I cannot remember seeing something like this...

Cheers,

Using $playState for switching graphics does sound like a better way, can anyone give an example (got no specs)

BTW. if you want to use script just catch the pause, 0xB3, button that should solve the issue when a user presses pause.

This code doesn't seem to work on the sonic emulator unfortunately but it does work on the ihdsim.

This is interesting. I could not get it to work though. Anyone have a small example

Or without the use of a variable:

function pauseHandler()
{
    try
    {
        if (Player.playlist.playState == Player.playlist.PLAYSTATE_PAUSE)
        {
            Player.playlist.play();
        }
        else
        {
            Player.playlist.pause();
        }
    }
    catch (err) {}
}

I've used this:

var playing=1; //put this line outside of function

      if(playing==1){
         Player.playlist.pause();
         playing=0;
      }else{
         Player.playlist.play();
         playing=1;
       }

Section 7.5.2.4.1 will point you to Annex W.2-1 (and some other tables).

Note that some XPaths are set at the time the page was loaded (ie, won't change) and others are set every tick (so will change).
