Question

Any way to determine buffering or playing?

I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble.  I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle.  I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering.  Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc.  I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time...  Is there a better way to do this?

    Is it something related to you old post?

    There is not definite state Flash Player goes into - when its playing stream , in background its buffering the data - so there is no clear distinction whether its in playing state or buffering state.
