myVideo.seek very slow!

1

HI

I have an instance of the flvPlayBack component on my stage called myVideo (good eh?)

a list of links down the lhs is used to pop in the required video.

If a user gets say 1/3 of the way into a video and the presses a different link for a different video then:

[LIST]
[]the new video pops up but the seek bar is still some way into the new video
[]there is a pause of around 1 sec
[*]the seek bar goes back to the start.
[/LIST]
I want to speed up the return of the seek bar to the start of the new video.

Here’s some code:


function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
 this.myVideo.alpha=1;
 if (linkType !="http"){
  currentVideo =event.currentTarget.ref; //get url of current video
  setVideoLinkEvents(currentVideo);
  playVideo();
 }else{
  ... stuff if its not a video link  
 }
}
 
function playVideo():void{
 myVideo.source = vidLink[currentVideo];
 myVideo.seek(0);
 myVideo.pause(); //pause video - default opening state for videos
}

This might be wrong but do I need to somehow remove the reference to the “old” video before I set the source to the new one?

If that’s junk - and it probably is …

How can I speed the return of the seek bar to the start of the new video?

Thanks in advance
