I recently built an flv player using the gotoandlearn.com tutorials. It works pretty good. The problem that i am having is that i have have buttons that "seek()" to certain points in the movie but not all of them work right. From what i read you just put in the the number of seconds u want it to jump to so if it was 1 1/2 min. u would put myMC.seek(90);. So for some reason it wont go to the right number of seconds on certain ones i set up. and if i add a few seconds or subtract a few seconds it does nothing. If i do, however add or subtract a large amount of seconds from it it will move it to a different point. but not the point i want it to be at. Below I will give some more info about the flv file etc...

I created the flv file using sorenson squeeze. It is the "med Prog" setting that i used.
The framerate was set to 30 fps when converting
The flv is not on a streaming server
I did not use the flv play back component because the player has to be in flash 7.
the player was published flash 7 as 2.0

Anything input will help. I have looked over this several times and have not found anything online that will help me with this issue.

there are many ways to do it ...

i use flash 8 to encode flv ...

that was one of my experments ...

i think i used something like :
Code: [ Select ]
go.onRelease = function ()
{
  var what = dyno.text;
  rtn_obj = vid.findNearestCuePoint(what.toLowerCase());
  vid.seek(rtn_obj.time);
  trace ("Cue point time is: " + rtn_obj.time);
};
  1. go.onRelease = function ()
  2. {
  3.   var what = dyno.text;
  4.   rtn_obj = vid.findNearestCuePoint(what.toLowerCase());
  5.   vid.seek(rtn_obj.time);
  6.   trace ("Cue point time is: " + rtn_obj.time);
  7. };

I've found it much easier to place cuepoints also when encoding the flv. Then seek to the cuepoints.

i noticed that behavior to some flv's too. They don't work as expected when you try to seek().
