How can I save a video's position using the FLVPlayback component

I've got a video I'd like people to be able to navigate away from in my project, but resume where it left off if they come back to it. I would think I could do this by just saving its current position when they exit that frame as a variable and then using .seek() to go back to that spot if/when they return.

The only problem is that I can't find any script to capture the current position. I tried .time, but it gives me an error.

ActionScript

use the playheadUpdate listener's eventobject's playheadTime property:

var flvUpdateObj:Object = new Object();
flvUpdateObj.playheadUpdate = function(eobj:Object):Void {
trace(playheadupdate"+eobj.target+": "+eobj.playheadTime);
};

yourcomponent.playheadUpdateInterval = 500;
yourcomponent.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", flvUpdateObj);

I believe playheadTime should do what you need. Check the Help for the FLV playback component...

Thanks kglad, that's exactly what I needed.

actually, that's helpful only if you were using as2. in as3, it's easier:

use the flvplayback's playheadTime property:

trace(yourcomponent.playheadTime);

// you'll need to save that (using sharedobject) periodically so you might want to use a VideoEvent.PLAYHEAD_UPDATE event.
