How to skip video if button is not pressed in AS3 Flash? - actionscript-3

Question

I'm working on a video ad self project in AS3. Basically the length of the video is 10 seconds. I have set a timer that on 5 seconds a 'Keep Watching' button will show and if interacted the video will continue playing. And if not, at 7 seconds it will automatically end the video. How do I prompt the video to stop playing if the button is not pressed? I am getting confused.
var baseTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000,1)
var isInteracted:Boolean = false;
baseTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, testTimer);
btSkip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btSkipvideo);
baseTimer.start();
function btSkipvideo(e:MouseEvent)
{
if (!isInteracted)
{
btSkip.visible = false;
}
else
trace("This is a testing");
}

Just create another timer to accomplish this. So something like this:
var baseTimer:Timer;
var timeoutTimer:Timer;
//assuming your btSkip button is a timeline object that is not currently visible
btSkip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btSkipvideo, false, 0, true);
function startVideo():void {
//do whatever you do to start the video
//create the base timer to show the button after 5 seconds
baseTimer = new Timer(5000, 1);
baseTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showBtn, false, 0, true); //use weak listener so the timer doesn't stay in memory forever
baseTimer.start();
}
function endVideo(e:Event = null):void {
//do whatever you do to stop the video
}
function showBtn(e:Event):void {
btSkip.visible = true; //or however you decide to show the button
//at this point it's been 5 seconds since the video started to play
//create the other timer to end the video after 2 additional seconds
timeoutTimer = new Timer(2000, 1);
timeoutTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, endVideo, false, 0, true);
timeoutTimer.start();
}
function btSkipvideo(e:MouseEvent){
if (timeoutTimer) {
//stop the timer so it doesn't end the video
timeoutTimer.stop();
}
btSkip.visible = false; //or however you'd hide the button
}

At the first, I think that's better to use your video player ( FLVPlayback component, NetStream object, ... ) to get the exact time ( 5 seconds and 7 seconds ) to execute any thing because of the problem of buffering of the stream ... But just to answer your question using a Timer object, I think that you can use only one Timer to do what you are looking for :
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000); // you can set the repeat count to 7 if you want
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, on_Timer);
function on_Timer(e:TimerEvent): void {
switch (e.target.currentCount) {
5: // 5 seconds, show the "Keep Watching" button
btSkip.visible = true;
break;
7: // 7 seconds, if the timer is always running, so stop the video
stop_the_video();
break;
}
}
function play_the_video(): void {
// start playing your video
timer.start();
}
function stop_the_video(): void {
// stop playing your video
timer.stop();
}
btSkip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btSkipvideo);
function btSkipvideo(e:MouseEvent): void {
timer.stop();
}
Hope that can help.
