Hiya! 🙂 I’m experimenting with live streaming in FMX, and it works wonders. =) But I can’t seem to figure out how to check if it’s buffering or not… I want a textfield saying whether it’s buffering or not, like: “buffering…”, then “All buffed out! Let’s ROLL!!”… Argh… ☹ Btw I’m streaming off Digitally Imported. ---

well I for one have never used it, and I assume the same goes for probably most everyone else here. That being the case, we (like myself) probably just dont know. :+) ---

_argh_ I saw on [www.whoswe.com](http://www.whoswe.com) , that they’d done it… THEN I searched these forums, and the ones on flashkit, and the ultrashock, and finally [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org)… nothing… Just how to stream live, and THAT’S NOT HARD… _grr_… :_( :_( :\*( ---

A-ha… well, do this: Make an object, convert to MC. Rightclick and then “Actions”, add this: on(release){ stream=new Sound(); stream.loadSound(“[http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1003](http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1003)”, true); stream.start(0,1); } And run the movie, click the button, and after a few secs, music SHOULD be flowin’ through the speakers. It’s that timespace from u release, to the music starts playing I’m fiddlin’ with… The buffertime… I just want flash to tell me when it’s buffering, and when it’s playing… ☹ ---

oooh I thought you meant with a webcam livestream input. never used it, (most likely) never will. anyway, for that just check for changes in soundObj.position if position isnt changing, its buffering. ---

hey seno can I ask you to take a look at my fla and see if you can make it say “buffering” when the connection brakes and it has to reconnect? it’s all in the relationship between check1 and check2 (checks positions)… I can’t seem to figure it out… ☹ ---
