I am currently working on a Flash webplayer with resolution switching functionality. I am trying to make use of the NetStream class's play2() function in Actionscript. The problem I am running into is that the videos don't change quickly. For those familiar with the play2() function I believe that the player is performing a "standard switch" rather than a "fast switch." The documentation says that when the offset parameter is -1, fast switching occurs. What actually happens, though is once the "NetStream.Play.Transition" event is received, the player waits until the time denoted by ns.time + ns.bufferLength has been reached, before performing the switch. I thought fast switching cleared the buffer, but on a check to ns.backbufferlength , I found that everything is still cached. Also it mentions: "When offset is -1, the switch occurs at the first available keyframe after netstream.time + 3 ," which is why I am confused. Any help/insight on this matter would be much appreciated. Here is a snippet of code describing what is going on ( newStream() is called when a user clicks to change to a new resolution, youtube style): public function newStream(address:String):void { var opts:NetStreamPlayOptions = new NetStreamPlayOptions(); opts.streamName = address; opts.transition = NetStreamPlayTransitions.SWITCH; opts.offset = -1; ns.play2(opts); } private function nsCallback(event:NetStatusEvent) { switch(event.info.code) { case "NetStream.Play.Transition": { trace("Current time (on Transition): " + ns.time, "Buffer: " + ns.bufferLength); var estTime:Number = ns.time + ns.bufferLength; t
