Hi all,  
I really hope someone can help me here.

I have a flv movie that i stream progressive in AS3.  
The bufferTime is set to 20 sec.

Here is the problem:  
I would like to inform the user in percentage the status on buffering.  
Think I have to use bufferLenght and bufferTime to calculate that, bur I can´t get it to work.

Please help ,

Best regards

- Thomas
