[Flashcoders] Question in regards to NetStream
1. Since there doesn't seem to be an playing event for a NetStream, is it best practice to run an interval and check the time property? Begin on the Play.Start and stop it on the Play.Stop? What about a pause - handle that internally? 2. After seeking, the time property seems wonky (inaccurate) - is there a workaround for this?

I would guess it's because they are using Adobe Media Server which has more robust seeking features like what they call Timeshifting seek and stream data access. That's just my guess though.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question in regards to NetStream
I wish NetStream had more events then :) I have to run a timer to update a time placement UI. That's too bad. How is YouTube able to provide such accurate seeking? I'm transferring video from one SWF to another - mainly by transferring the URL to the video to stream and trying to match as closely as possible (buffering not withstanding) the playhead time. It seems like this is next to impossible with video that is out of my control to encode keyframes every second.

In laymen's terms, seek doesn't jump to an exact time, it jumps to the nearest keyframe time prior to the time you told it to seek to. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- http://ericd.net Interactive design and development ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
