[flexcoders] flv video stepping
I've created a flv video player and have a step button to slowly move through the video. This step button is really just a hack, on mouse down it plays the video, on mouse up it pauses. Only problem is that the playheadTime from the video is being reported erratically when using this function. When I play the video normally vs when step is used, at the same point in the video the playheadTime is reported differently (stepping shows an earlier time than normal playing). Has anyone else ran into something similar? Is there a better way to do stepping or a more accurate way to obtain the playhead time? Thanks for the help, -John

[flexcoders] Flex Fullscreen Apps
Hi, I have a flex app that I want to be able to make fullscreen and was having some problems with it. I looked at the tutorial on adobes site, and can get full screen to work but the components in my app don't change size when going into fullscreen mode. I've found that setting the height and width on my components to 100% will cause them to change size, all my components are absolutly sized and positioned though. Do I need to manually change the sized/position of all my components when changing between normal and fullscreen or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help, -john

[flexcoders] flv player
I'm trying to make an flv player using Flex 2 and AS3, things are going pretty well. I want to add a stepping button so that you can step through one frame at a time (forward or back). Right now I've managed to figure out the frame using the framerate and total duration (this isn't perfect, but closest thing I could come up with). The problem I am having is that some of the flv files (which I cannot change) have keyframes with odd spaceing (7 seconds in between!) so when I do a seek to a time between keyframes it doesn't go to that spot, rather, one of the keyframes. Does anyone know of a better way to do this? I was using the VideoDisplay object as t eh base for my player at one point and I think when seeking with that it would work a little better, am I just getting confused? If not, how does the VideoDisplay manage this? Thanks for the help, John
