Video Loader - Stream from a set time

[Chris7777]

Hi.

 

I'm using the VideoLoader to load in a FLV movie. This part works fine, the movie loads and play's fine. I also would like to stream the video, this also works fine, but I can only stream from the start.

 

I would like to stream from, let's say 2 mins in.

 

I am doing the following:

 

vidLoader = new VideoLoader("/content/current/video.flv", {
       onComplete:onVideoLoad,
       onProgress:onVideoProgress,
   });
   vidLoader.load();    

   addChild(vidLoader.content);
   vidLoader.gotoVideoTime(120);    // 2 minutes into the vid
}

function onVideoProgress(e:LoaderEvent):void {
   loadingText.text = "Loading Video: " + int(e.target.progress * 100) + "%";
}

function onVideoLoad(e:LoaderEvent):void {
   trace("Loaded!");
}

 

The above streams the video, but only starts from the start. I can put the "gotoVideoTime" into the onComplete function, but it will only "goto" once the whole video has loaded.

 

Is there a way to start streaming from a certain point?

 

Cheers

The post doesn't clear up the difference between streaming and progressive. I guess I can just do a quick calc, and once the video has loaded more than 2 mins worth, I will skip to there and start playing
