time display on flv player question

[mperla]

Hello,
I am building a flv player with time display.

Here is the code I am using:

// event listener for changing the time display



function updateNP(event:Event):void {
	// time code code...
	var totalSeconds:Number = theplaya.playheadTime;
	var totalSeconds2:Number =  theplaya.totalTime;
	var minutes:Number = Math.floor(totalSeconds /60);
	var minutes2:Number = Math.floor(totalSeconds2 /60);
	var seconds = Math.floor (totalSeconds) % 60;
	var seconds2 = Math.floor (totalSeconds2) % 60;
	if (seconds < 10){
		seconds = "0" + seconds;
	}
	if (seconds2 < 10){
		seconds2 = "0" + seconds2;
	}
	timeBox.text =  minutes + ":" + seconds + " / " +  minutes2 + ":" + seconds2;
	
}
this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateNP);

When the player first loads the video the total time is displayed as "NaN" before it gets the length information. How can I set the initial value to "0:00" instead of having "NaN" displayed?

I tried setting the value at the top of my actionscript (before the previously listed event handler) to:

timeBox.text =  "0:00 / 0:00";

But it still listed the totaltime as NaN before it displays the actual length.

Thanks,
mperla

You can do something like this. Place the script under the timeBox line;
if(timeBox.text.substring(0,3)=="NaN")
{
timeBox.text="00:00";
}

Try this for your first two lines:

    var totalSeconds:Number = (isNaN(theplaya.playheadTime)) ? 0 : theplaya.playheadTime;
var totalSeconds2:Number = (isNaN(theplaya.totalTime)) ? 0 : theplaya.totalTime;
