flv seek

[pumpkin2006]

Hello!

so im loading an flv into an flvplayback component on my stage using:

import mx.video.*;
myVid.autoPlay = true;
myVid.contentPath = "swf/video/myvideo.flv";
myVid.skin = "swf/qxvSkin.swf";
myVid.autoRewind = false;
myVid.skinAutoHide=false;

and then using

on(release){myVid.seek(264.0);}

to seek to a section of the vid with a button, all works fine!
but...

when its online, if the video hasnt buffered up to 264 seconds then it just stalls and breaks everything when i press the button...

is there a way to get the video to buffer from whatever time i choose to seek to rather than having to buffer the entire thing first...?

thanks!

Hi,

Generally you can't watch something until its loaded, having said that, the good people at you toob do it rather nicely.
You will need to use netStream and read through this page Here

thanks!
had a read through, unfortunately i dont have access to the server side... and also not using jwplayer...
and im guessing there is no alternative short of cutting up the flvs into multiple files...

cheers anyway!
