\*\*I used the VideoDisplay control to create this little flex project for my research. So far, I’ve been developing everything locally. Once I changed the source to an online FLV file, my algorithm of updating the playhead doesn’t work. I assume that this has to do with how much is buffered?

I would like it to then start buffering the video at the new playhead spot, if that makes sense. Is this possible?
