VideoDisplay seek using swipe gesture or mouseMove

Concider that you have build a very simple player with video display.

<s:VideoDisplay width="100%" height="100%" autoPlay="true" id="player" scaleMode="stretch" mediaPlayerStateChange="checkState(event)"/>

Now lets initialize and bind our events:

protected function init():void
            {    
                    navigator.landscapeOrientation = false;
                if (!Multitouch.supportsTouchEvents)

                {
                    addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onTouchMove);
                    systemManager.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,onTouchMove);
                }
                else
                {
                    label.text = "normal";
                    
                    Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
                  
                    addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE,onTouchMove);
                    
                }
                player.source = "http://myMovie.mp4";
           
            }

This will show u when the player is playing and has calculated the max duration.

public function checkState(evt:MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent)
            {
                if(evt.state == "playing")
                {
                   trace(String(player.duration));
                }
               
               trace(String((player.duration/60))+"  "+evt.state);
            }

Now lets create that function that does all the work:

private function onTouchMove(event):void
            {
                if(event.stageX>systemManager.stage.width/2)
                {
                    var time = event.stageX/100;
                    time = player.currentTime+time;
                    player.seek(Math.round(time));
                    trace(player.currentTime+"::"+event.stageX+"::"+Math.round(time));
                 
                }
                else if(event.stageX<systemManager.stage.width/2)
                {
                    var time = event.stageX/100;
                    time = player.currentTime-time;
                    player.seek(Math.round(time));
                    trace(player.currentTime+"::"+event.stageX+"::"+Math.round(time));
               
                }
               
            }

In a 1024x600 10'' screen with max swipe the movie will move forward or backward 10'' with each swipe.

I tend to believe that its pretty cool, personally I would also add arrows to show which way the user swipes.
