Hello everyone,

Is it possible to have a preloader for a external FLV while the user waits for the buffer to load?

The code I used is here: (I did not use the component panel but a video instance from the library)

// Create a NetConnection object:  
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();  
//Create a local streaming connection  
netConn.connect(null);  
// Create a Net Stream object:  
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);  
// Set the buffer time:  
netStream.setBufferTime(5);  
//Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video Object my\_video:  
my\_video.attachVideo(netStream);  
//begin playing flv  
netStream.play(“newVideoFile1.flv”);

any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,  
Matt
