Thanks for the reply, When I use the "start" event to start playing the attached swf, the swf starts playing but the stream doesn't start playing for a little longer and since I am using the Media Component I can't tell if its buffering or doing what. I do know the play head doesn't really start playing until its done with what its doing (which clearly looks like buffering). So in short the "start" event is fired but the video doesn't play for a while. I had to end up doing the syncing off the change event which is not very reliable but is doable. As when the playHead moves the video really is playing.
But the other thing was (Non-Flex or Non-Media components) articles I saw about NetStream and streaming FLV had some examples about showing a loader during the buffering time with netStream.onStatus. So I was hoping for a easy way to get control of the stream's instance to do the normal FCS FLV streaming enhancements. With Media components I can't get figure out what is really related to what and loose the power of talking with FCS. I guess I will have to ditch the Media Components and create a custom component to use in Flex to really get it to work. A little disappointed. --- In [email protected], Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm, in the code I wrote the "start" event generally fired right around the > time things were ready to go.
