So Im trying to get the current time (play head time) for a video on the stage and am using Netstream. I have a timer with an event listener pinging a function every 1000ms. But it is not smooth and the numbers jump a bit.

```
Is there a way to attach an event listener to the netstream time itself? My apologies as Im new to AS3 syntax and still trying to figure it out.

I tried ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.time, monitorTime); but as you probably know that Dog wont hunt. :puzzled:
