Question

I have NetStream attached to video control in flash movie.
I cannot understand how to jump forward or backward.

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); 
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler); 
ns.play("Video.flv"); 
vid.attachNetStream(ns);

I need somethinf like

btnSkip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClicked);
function playClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
ns.pause();
//ns.step(1000)
//ns.seek(1);
ns.resume();
}

ns.step() – doesn’t work and I don’t know why.
ns.seek – works fine, but I don’t know where is a position, there’s no ns.position and no ns.fps properties to add ns.seek(ns.position+(ns.fps*3)) to skip 3 seconds forward.

Answer 1

It is rather simple actually. Use the seek method on your netStream. To get the position use the time method and then add the offset you need

For 3 sec forward:

ns.seek(ns.time + 3);

For 3 sec backward:

ns.seek(ns.time - 3);
