Thanks Jor, I understand what you are talking about the issue here for me was trying to understand what "RA" was talking about, the interesting thing is that I was trying to arrive to a point in time after the whole video had played. Meaning the video plays through (10 seconds) and then I was doing a sort of "rewind" back to 0.33 Long story.
Thanks again for your comments, and truth I am one of the people that would try to find all the resources (like the docs ;) ) before asking.
