FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

NOTE: This method is also supported in Flash Player 6 when used with Flash Media
Server. For more information, see the Flash Media Server documentation.
Parameters
offset:Number - The approximate time value, in seconds, by which to move the playhead in
an FLV file. The playhead moves to the keyframe of the video that's closest to the value
specified by offset.
■ To return to the beginning of the stream, pass 0 to offset.
■ To seek forward from the beginning of the stream, pass the number of seconds you want
to advance. For example, to position the playhead 15 seconds from the beginning, use
my_ns.seek(15).
■ To seek relative to the current position, pass my_ns.time + n or my_ns.time - n to seek
n seconds forward or backward, respectively, from the current position. For example, to
rewind 20 seconds from the current position, use my_ns.seek(my_ns.time - 20).
The precise location to which the playhead moves differs according to the frames-per-second
(fps) setting at which the video was exported. For example, suppose you have two video
objects that represent the same video, one exported at 6 fps and the other at 30 fps. If you
then use my_ns.seek(15) for both objects, the playhead moves to two different locations.
Example
The following example illustrates some ways to use the NetStream.seek() command. You
can return to the beginning of the stream, move to a location 30 seconds from the beginning
of the stream, and move backward three minutes from the current location:
// Return to the beginning of the stream
my_ns.seek(0);
// Move to a location 30 seconds from the beginning of the stream
my_ns.seek(30);
// Move backwards three minutes from current location
my_ns.seek(my_ns.time - 180);
setBufferTime (NetStream.setBufferTime) method
public setBufferTime(bufferTime:Number) : Void
Specifies how long to buffer messages before starting to display the stream. For example, if
you want to make sure that the first 15 seconds of the stream play without interruption, set
bufferTime to 15; Flash begins playing the stream only after 15 seconds of data are buffered.
