Heyo, I’m making an flv player, and i’m having some trouble getting the playhead to be smooth. It’s a little bit jumpy.

The code is pretty standard.

timeline.playhead.\_x = (player.playheadTime / player.totalTime) \* timelineWidth;

But if anyone knows how to get the playhead to move very smoothly I would appreciate any suggestions.
