FLV Files and Delays

[TheSeoGuy]

We have a flash video file (.flv) in a standard flash file. We are using the media display component along with the media controller component. The video is streaming. My question is, do either of these components have methods that would allow us to check the amount of video that has been streamed/loaded and then if it’s past a certain point, start the video?

As it stands, the video begins to play but catches up to the stream and then pauses until more data has been received. This results in a very choppy, stop and play video.

I would assume we would be able to use a simple if statement to check that the necessary amount of data has been downloaded?

Thanks in advance.
