Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV
VideoDisplay is just wrapper around VideoPlayer. I think, Flex 2 is great because you get source code. So you can extend things rather than using workarounds or hacks...Thanks to Adobe for making SDK free and this indeed has advantage over last version (Flex 1.5).I am not promising but If I get time, I would write a simple Video component that can handle different type of FLV playback (RTMP, HTTP, PHP/Lighttpd FLV streaming). Which would be easy to use and customize. I feel, VideoDisplay component is quite complicated and big for unknown reasons. I can not post my current code due to some reasons (company, employer etc). I have classes to handle RTMP, Progressive download, Lighttpd FLV streaming; all of these use same interface and events. There is factory which creates required stream transparently. Basically, UI doesn't need to know about specific streams. Hope this give some idea, if you want to implement something reuseable, lightweight and compact...-abdulOn 9/1/06, greg h < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wow Chris.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV
Thanks for sharing, I am currently trying to get my head around extending videodisplay as well, but for my needs I need to pull the metadata as well as be able to add/remove cuepoints on the fly. I was was going about it by learning how to extend an existing component. You mentioned copying the video classes into a package, then adding your new event. if you could share a bit more on this I would much appreciate. I seem to be better at deconstructing/reconstructing examples than getting my head around super classes etc :) Impudent1 LeapFrog Productions -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV
Hi,With VideoDisplay, you don't need to use onEnterFrame or any external Timer instance. Just subscribe to VideoDisplay's playheadUpdate event and do progress bar logic in event handler.-abdul

Ok, Below is my updated "onEnterFrame()" method that updates a

Now I'm going to try and get this working using the

ideas/recommendations would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV
Hi Chris,In VideoDisplay, you can subscribe to "playheadUpdate" event and use playheadTime, which is similar to NetStream.time.You can subscribe to "stateChange" event and watch "BUFFERING" in event handler, if you want to show BUFFERING status to user...

Awesome!!! Worked perfectly. Thank You.
With all this in mind, is there a way to pull this of using the
component?
I created my app using that component but I could not figure out how
to access the stream. I figured I would do a rewrite using the
netStream object if necessary, but I would love to avoid doing that if
possible.
Thanks Again,
Chris

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV
Chris, Regarding your post: Now I'm going to try and get this working using the component. I'm not sure if I can get to its "netStream" object, so any ideas/recommendations would be helpful and appreciated. Last week Abdul posted a reply on this list on the thread "How to assign NetStream to VideoDisplay component?" You can find Abdul's reply on the thread here: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg39368.html btw ... thank you very, very much Abdul :-) hth, g __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company YAHOO!
