AS3 FLVPlayback seekBar problem

I’m customizing the FLVPlayback component with the individual video control components, but the SeekBar wouldn’t work no matter what I did, though the PlayPauseButton worked fine.

vidPlayer.seekBar = controls_mc.seek_mc;

Turns out that you need to set the SeekBar property of the FLVPlayback component AFTER you call play().

It took me a while to find the resolution to this annoying issue; hopefully google will index this post and help someone out.

    Found your note via Google – just what I was looking for. My project has to be finished tomorrow and this was the final stumbling block.
    Many thanks, Geoff

    BTW, I found you can set the seek (and volume) controls in the AutoLayout handler, rather than waiting for Play to be pressed (handy if you have autoPlay turned on).

    myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(AutoLayoutEvent.AUTO_LAYOUT, layoutUpdate);

    function layoutUpdate(e:AutoLayoutEvent):void {
    video.seekBar = myControls.seekBtn;
    video.volumeBar = myControls.volumeBtn;
    }
