Hello as you can see from my sample code i am trying to play an array of videos back to back.
What i attempt to do is create a for loop which cycles for the length of the array. Within the for loop i call a PlayAVideo function that empties a div and then reenters a new video + source tags. My objective is to begin the for loop, play the first video in the array, wait for end of video, then continue with for loop with next element in the array. What currently happens is the for loop cycles through the entire array and only plays the last video. I have checked the readystate of the video tag after i add a new one, but they dont appear to ever get to 4(im pretty sure they stay at 0) until the last video is loaded. My idea was to begin playing the video and then start a do while loop until the currentVideo.ended event changes the parameter that is checked. My code doesnt ever appear to reach this spot. Not really sure where to go.
Javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.play-all').on("click", function(){
var videoFileArray;
var pictureFileArray;
var rosterArray = LoadRosterFromButtons();
rosterArray = FormatArray(rosterArray);
videoFileArray = AddMovieExtensions(rosterArray);
for(var i = 0; i < videoFileArray.length; i++ ){
PlayAVideo(i, videoFileArray);
}
// PlayAllVideos(videoFileArray);
// AlertRosterArray(videoFileArray);
});
})

var videoEnded;
var currentVideo = document.getElementById('play-video'); //current video
