Hi Lenny,
Nope. They're still the same files on my site as before.
The original ofla_demo.fla file has a buffer time of 5 seconds. From line
204 of the "code" layer:
ns.setBufferTime(5);
The reason I set mine to zero was that I added a rudimentary seek bar
(that's the black rectangle that moves along to the top right portion of
the video screen for those who didn't notice that's what that was for) and
when I would drag it to some other spot, I'd have to wait five seconds to
see a keyframe.
I tampered with making the buffer time zero ONLY when seeking was in
process, then putting it back to three or five seconds once the user
released the mouse - but this resulted in some very strange and annoying
pixelated artifacts for the video and sudden bursts and pauses in the
audio. So I just left that one line of mine setting it at zero.
Of course if you don't intend to let people seek through your video clip,
then certainly having a buffer time of five or three or ten or how ever
many seconds you want besides zero is going to result in a much smoother
playback experience. I just did it that way to make the seeking happen
faster.
Hope that helps explain my madness a bit. :)
