NetStream.seek()

Availability

Flash Player 7.

Note: This method is also supported in Flash Player 6 when used with Flash Communication Server. For more information, see your Flash Communication Server documentation.

Usage

my_ns.seek(numberOfSeconds)

Parameters

numberOfSeconds The approximate time value, in seconds, to move to in an FLV file. The playhead moves to the keyframe closest to numberOfSeconds.

To return to the beginning of the stream, pass 0 for numberOfSeconds.
To seek forward from the beginning of the stream, pass the number of seconds you want to advance. For example, to position the playhead at 15 seconds from the beginning, use myStream.seek(15).
To seek relative to the current position, pass mystream.time + n or mystream.time - n to seek n seconds forward or backward, respectively, from the current position. For example, to rewind 20 seconds from the current position, use my_ns.seek(my_ns.time - 20).

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; seeks the keyframe closest to the specified number of seconds from the beginning of the stream. The stream resumes playing when it reaches the specified location in the stream.

Example

The following example illustrates some ways to use the NetStream.seek() command.

// Return to the beginning of the stream
my_ns.seek(0);

// Move to a location 30 seconds from the beginning of the stream
my_ns.seek(30);

//Move backwards three minutes from current location
my_ns.seek(my_ns.time - 180);
