Hey all 🙂 So Im new here and I’d first like to introduce myself as it looks like I’m going to be here for a while :). My name is Mike and I am in school for game programming. I am very interested in flash and it’s capabilities and this seems like a great community for me to grow and hopefully one day give back!

That being said my first self project is to make a flash player like youtube (just not as good…obviously) Right now the player sort of works however I can’t seem to get the total length of the movie so I can have a scrub bar working or a fast forward button which just goes to the last frame of the movie. Here is my code… any help would be great!

```auto
flash.display.SimpleButton;

var nC: NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nC.connect( null );

var nS: NetStream = new NetStream( nC );        

videoPlayer.attachNetStream( nS );

var url = "C:/Users/Cashin/Desktop/player/media/1.f4v";

nS.client = this;
nS.bufferTime = 5;
nS.play( url );
nS.addEventListener( NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStreamStatusEvent );

pauseBTN.visible = false;

function onNetStreamStatusEvent( e:NetStatusEvent ): void {
    switch( e.info.code ) {
        case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
            trace("Video was not found...");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Play.Start":
            trace("Video has started playing...");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":
            nS.seek(2);
            trace("Video has stopped playing...");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Buffer.Empty":
            trace("Data is not being received fast enough for the buffer...");
            nS.pause();
            trace(nS.bytesTotal);
            videoPlayer.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, function() { 
                    if ( nS.bufferLength >= nS.bufferTime || nS.bytesLoaded == nS.bytesTotal ) {
                            videoPlayer.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, arguments.callee );
                            nS.resume();
                    }
            } );
            break;
        case "NetStream.Buffer.Full":
            playBTN.addEventListener( 'mouseUp', playMovie );
            reviewBTN.addEventListener( 'mouseUp', reviewMovie );
            fastForwardBTN.addEventListener( 'mouseUp', fastForwardMovie );
            trace("Buffer filled, video is good to go...");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Buffer.Flush":
            trace("Video finished, buffer emptied...");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime":
            trace("Trying to seek to an invalid time");
            break;
        case "NetStream.Seek.Notify":
            trace("Seek is finished");
            break;        
    }
}

function reviewMovie( e: MouseEvent ) {
    nS.play( url, 2 );
}

function fastForwardMovie( e: MouseEvent ) {
    //trace();
    //nS.seek( Stream.length );
}

function pauseMovie( e: MouseEvent ) {
    nS.pause();
    
    pauseBTN.removeEventListener( 'mouseUp', pauseMovie );
    playBTN.addEventListener( 'mouseUp', playMovie );
    
    pauseBTN.visible = false;
    playBTN.visible = true;
}

function playMovie( e: MouseEvent ) {
    
    nS.resume();
    
    playBTN.removeEventListener( 'mouseUp', playMovie );
    pauseBTN.addEventListener( 'mouseUp', pauseMovie );
    
    pauseBTN.visible = true;
    playBTN.visible = false;
}

/*function onMetaData(metadata:Object):void
{trace(meta.duration);
}*/

```

Thanks so much and cheers!!! Speak to yall soon 🙂
