NetStream.bufferTime

Availability
Flash Player 7.
Note: This property is also supported in Flash Player 6 when used with Flash Communication Server.
For more information, see the Flash Communication Server documentation.
Usage
my_ns.bufferTime:Number
Description
Read-only property; the number of seconds assigned to the buffer by NetStream.setBufferTime().
The default value is .1(one-tenth of a second). To determine the number of seconds currently in
the buffer, use NetStream.bufferLength.
Example
The following example dynamically creates a text field that displays information about the
number of seconds that are currently in the buffer. The text field also displays the buffer length
that the video is set to, and percentage of buffer that is filled.
this.createTextField("buffer_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 300,
22);
buffer_txt.html = true;
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("video1.flv");
var buffer_interval:Number = setInterval(checkBufferTime, 100, stream_ns);
function checkBufferTime(my_ns:NetStream):Void {
var bufferPct:Number = Math.min(Math.round(my_ns.bufferLength/
my_ns.bufferTime*100), 100);
var output_str:String = "<textformat tabStops='[100,200]'>";
output_str += "Length: "+my_ns.bufferLength+"\t"+"Time:
"+my_ns.bufferTime+"\t"+"Buffer:"+bufferPct+"%";
output_str += "</textformat>";
buffer_txt.htmlText = output_str;
}
