I have spent the last several hours trying to figure out how to add about 8 seconds of buffer time to a flv streaming video. I have added a FLVPLayback component to the stage, gave it an instance name of my\_FLVPlybk, and add this code to the first frame. It still doesn’t work… please someone help me figure this out?.. please ☹

import fl.video.\*;

my\_FLVPlybk.bufferTime = 8;  
my\_FLVPlybk.contentPath = “myStreamingFlv.flv”;
