Well at a quick glance I can see that you don't have a variable of totalTime defined anywhere in your project.

Something like: var totaltime:Number = 180; //3 minutes default

This assigns a number to total time upfront and declares your variable.

Oh AND you reference it is totalTime not totaltime. Capitals do matter. and I believe you want totaltime.

These streaming flash players are hard to figure out sometimes. I've built one for my organization that is similar to this one, but there are still 100 different ways to accomplish the same sort of thing.

i got it wat you said , you r saying that i'm forgot to declare the ns.totalTIme varaible. that's a good idea but it still didn't work . i used below function to get the ns's totaltime. but i donot know to use this . i kow it will return the flv's duration and details . but don't know when it will be called. i think this function is not being called. can you check this from my source file

ns.onMetaData = function(obj) {
var totaltime:Number = 180;
this.totalTime = obj.duration;
};

Make sure that all of your variables are totaltime not totalTime too. Capital letters do matter.

But I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Hello,

So I have a lot of work to get done before I leave for my wedding tomorrow, so I am just going to post this:

Code: Select all

 
var perPixel:Number = (my_c.bar.bg._width - my_c.bar.butt._width) / 100;
function checkTime() {
 var myPercent = ns.time/totaltime * 100;
 my_c.bar.butt._x = my_c.bar.bg._x + (myPercent * perPixel);
}

This code sets up a variable of perPixel figures out how long the bar is in my MC - my_c.bar.bg //bar.bg being the timeline withing the my_C movieclip which houses my play, pause buttons. and divides that by 100 to turn it into a percent.

It then creates another variable myPercent (this is the part that looks sort of like yours). Then it takes the _x position to determine how far along the slider is.

Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction.

I have found out the roblem, where it's going wrong. ns.onmetaData funtion is not beingcalled . i put some trace statement to check whether it's working or not. but the trace object is not executed. how can i explicitly call that function in my coding. is there any other geting flv stream's totaltime.

[balaakrs]

i got it right, i'ts the onmetadata() function is not worked properly. I misplaced the function. i tried to placed it in playmovie function after the ns.playmovie (). i worked. now the seek bar is working fin. thanx for your reply to get me in right track, without your help i can't able to figure out where i have gone wrong. all the best for your married life.
