videoloader and progress problem

[junky]

I've created a video site, but I've run into and error. In order to not allow the scrub bar to be fast forwarded beyond what's already downloaded I'm trying to limit it's width. BUT the problem is that both:

 

event.target.progress

and

event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal

 

equal 1. Meaning the whole file has downloaded. BUT that's not the case. I know the video is on a different server out side my home location. Help please.

ok to thicken the plot...

 

I have gotten the player to trace the progess.

 

function updateDownloadProgress(event:LoaderEvent):void {

trace(event.target.progress)

trace(event.target.bytesLoaded, event.target.bytesTotal)

}

 

The problem seems to be rather than tracing the whole progress it traces just the buffered amount (bufferMode is set to true).

 

What can I do?

Yep, that’s exactly how the VideoLoader is supposed to behave when bufferMode is set to true – it reports its progress and bytesLoaded/bytesTotal according to the buffer, not the entire video file’s download progress. Keep in mind that you can change bufferMode anytime.
