"2) Use a Video component and write your own NetStream and NetConnection class and use the seek() method of it, which does not have the bug. I suggest this using this method."
This is actually what I am doing, and although it works on my xp box beautifully, it really stutters on vista. At first I thought maybe it was an IE7 issue, but I get the same thing on Firefox (and just stand-alone within the authoring enviro) so I am positive it is something related to the way that the player runs on Vista. Really frustrating, and only a matter of time I'm sure before this becomes an issue for sites all over the place loading flv files. For now I may have to (*ugh) revert back to wrapping the flv files inside of swfs. Why do I feel like it's a constant 1 step forward 2 steps back with these new releases??? Thank you for your suggestions btw :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 11:58 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] seek() in VideoPlayer class The FLV component (both 7 and 8) are totally messed up when it comes to calling seek manually on an interval or enterFrame. I mean, it's pretty ridiculous that such an obvious bug got through QA. Allegedly, there is an undocumented public method that exposes the true seek method of the FLVPlayback component, but I suggest the following. You have two choices. 1) Use the standalone Flash 8 Seekbar Component to interact with the F8 FLVPlayback Component. You can skin this to do whatever you want and it seeks the FLVPlayback Component without issue. 2) Use a Video component and write your own NetStream and NetConnection class and use the seek() method of it, which does not have the bug. I suggest this using this method. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
