Does anyone know how to set the buffer time for a media component. Like the mediaController or Display?
The media components do not have an official setBuffer method or anything like that, but you can create your own buffer by using its bytesLoaded and bytesTotal properties. Depending on your project scope you may also want to use the flvPlayback component as it does have a buffer property that can be set. You can also create your own using netStream which gives you the most flexibility but does require a little more code.
Hope this helps
Thanks, I know you can set the buffer with the netStream object but I was reading about the flv playback component and the flash help files indicate that setting the buffer doesn’t really do any good because it’s a progressive download and it’s not a means of controlling how much video is downloaded befor playing begines. The language in the help files of Flash 8 and CS3 are pretty ambiguous sometimes.
