I'd like to essentially echo what Mr. Sacks says: Use the NetConnection and NetStream classes to roll your own player. Not only can you employ bug-free seek supporting, but you can also create a faux-streaming player with a little java or php that will open the doors to many possibilities. It will take a little bit more time, at first, but in the end you'll be a better coder and have a better player.
Check out Jeroen Wijering's wonderful open source flv player for a good grounding in the basics-- http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player --and move from there. Win-win. - k On 4/23/07, Flash Coder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I am building my own flv videoplayer with the mx.video.VideoPlayer class. I have run into a problem with my draggable slider for seeking back and forth my movie. The problem is: I'm calling the seek() method every time the mouse's x position change. It works fine if I just click around the slider. But if I start dragging it, the class registers every single little seek call, and of course act upon every single one of them. This slows the seeking down a lot. If I just drag it back and forth a couple of times, I can sit back and wait up to 30 seconds to watch it go through every seek jump. What am I doing wrong? I tested the FLV playback component. It works a little better, but far from as good as the YouTube flv player. Please help me out.
