Thank you for all of the suggestions, I am using a "home grown" player based on the NetConnection and NetStream classes. Can anyone confirm if they too notice a stutter when playing back flv files within the Flash player on Vista?
Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelly Smith Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 1:31 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] seek() in VideoPlayer class I'd like to essentially echo what Mr. Sacks says: Use the NetConnection and NetStream classes to roll your own player. Not only can you employ bug-free seek supporting, but you can also create a faux-streaming player with a little java or php that will open the doors to many possibilities. It will take a little bit more time, at first, but in the end you'll be a better coder and have a better player. Check out Jeroen Wijering's wonderful open source flv player for a good grounding in the basics-- http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player --and move from there. Win-win. - k On 4/23/07, Flash Coder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am building my own flv videoplayer with the mx.video.VideoPlayer class. > > I have run into a problem with my draggable slider for seeking back > and forth my movie. > > The problem is: > > I'm calling the seek() method every time the mouse's x position change. > > It works fine if I just click around the slider.
