Smart Seek API Availability?

I'm looking to use the Smart Seek options with netStream in an upcoming project. Currently, we are using Flash CS4 and it seems this API is not available. Am I correct on this? Is this only available in CS5 as far as Flash Professional goes? What about Flex? Which version of Flex is required to access the smart seek API? Or am I misunderstanding this, and the Smart Seek API is server side only AS?

Thanks,

Adam

    Hi Adam,

    Smart Seek is available only post flash player 10.1 and FMS 3.5.3 and above. CS4 has component of flash player 10.0 and so this API is not available but CS5 has 10.1 component.Flex4 has player 10.1 component, you have to set flash player to 10.1 in compiler settings. You may update your player componet regarding which you can find more info on how you can update your player component to 10.1 on Flex forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/flex/flex_general_discussion or in the Flash Forum here http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general

    I did find these instructions: http://swfhead.com/blog/?p=133
