Hey guys, what i basically got is a simple FLVPlayback with no skin at all.

All i’m really trying to do is once the contentpath is set, i can see how many bytes have been loaded out of total bytes for the clip.

i’ve used Progress event listener and set the interval to 001 / . 001 and the only time it responds is when the clip is fully loaded.

for a 680KB clip, i’ve simulated the download to 28.8kbs per second and it still doesn’t respond till the clip is fully loaded and then it just tells me total bytes loaded: 680 KB out of total bytes: 680 kb.

any advice would be great. I might be just using a bad approach?
