ns.status Buffer message lags, starts vid before hiding mc

[clarpark]

Hi. I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my "buffering" movies to hide before the video plays. When a new video is selected, "blacky" and "bufferText" are set to visible=true. But then the video starts and there is a lag of 10-20 frames before they get triggered to visible=false.

I've played with NetStream.Buffer.Start but that causes other issues.. Any help? Thanks.

ns.onStatus = function(info) { 
trace(info.code);
   if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") { 
    	_root.bufferText_mc._visible = false;
 		_root.blacky._visible = false;
   } 
   if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") { 
  		 _root.bufferText_mc._visible = true;
 		_root.blacky._visible = true;
   } 
   if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") { 
      ns.seek(0); 
      ns.pause();  
	  blacky._visible = true;
   } 
}
