I'm using the MediaDisplay control with the associated Media class.
Although the documentation says the total duration is only available
when the FLV completely loads, I'm abile to get it at the start of the
FLV load in the Media.progress event. This seems to work on Flash 7.2
and 8, though I haven't thoroughly tested it.
Here's a sample of the progress event:
flvListener.progress = function(){
...
if (nPercentLoaded > .01 && nTotalTime <= 0) {
nTotalTime = [MediaDisplay instance name].totalTime;
}
...
}
Let me know if this works.
