Hello

Iam learing FMS. i developed an application which records various events that occurs during a session like chat text or whiteboard drawing, During playback, these events occur at their respective time proplerly. How can i add seek or rewind forward functionality in playback of this recorded session.?

    You can use NetStream.seek for seeking back and forward in any recorded stream. Have you tried it?

    Also if your recorded stream pure data stream like you say - or it has audio-video and data messages embeded in them. I would suggest you can use persistent shared objects to store events along with thier time and then sync back this shared objects and use that information to seek.

    Because of lack of time - i am drafting my reply fast - do let me know if it helps.

    Yes, i have tried it. It actually seeks the stream but ignore all data events placed before seek time. I want those data events to be executed along with the seek. What iam doing here is , innitially retrieveing all data events using netstream.play("name", 0, -1,3) , store it locally with their time and when seek is performed, fire them wrt their time. Dont know whether it is right way to do. but it is doing the trick with some sync issues. Any suggestions??
