If that’s your AS2 code, then you’ll have to change that bufferClip.visible reference to bufferClip._visible (note the underscore). Many AS2 MovieClip properties begin with an underscore for historical reasons.

It’s always a good idea to doing some troubleshooting, while you’re at it. The trace() function sends message to the Output panel for you, so you could do something like this:

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
  if (info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") {
  bufferClip.visible = false;
  trace("buffer is is full");
}
// when the buffer is empty show buffer text
  if (info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") {
  bufferClip.visible = true;
  trace("buffer is empty");
}
// etc.

… to ensure that the event is firing at all, even if bufferClip isn’t doing what it should.

While I have found this very helpful indeed, I am also building a player using AS3. I’ve gotten pretty far including buttons and a scrubber using this and other help sites, but seem to have hit a wall when it comes to buffering. The buffer itself works fine but the movieClip I have to show the buffering status doesn’t remove itself for whatever reason.

The code I have for AS2 is:

ns.bufferTime = 30;

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == “NetStream.Buffer.Full”) {
bufferClip.visible = false;
}
// when the buffer is empty show buffer text
if(info.code == “NetStream.Buffer.Empty”) {
bufferClip.visible = true;
}
// when the video has finished return to beginning
if(info.code == “NetStream.Play.Stop”) {
ns.seek(0);
}

}

Like I said I’m trying to convert this to AS3, so any help would be great as I am beginning to lose my hair…!

Your question makes a good topic for a tutorial of its own, so I’ve added it to my list. Mailing you an answer personally doesn’t help other visitors to this blog.

To Valdemar …

Thanks! Glad to hear that.
