public bufferTime : Number [read-only]

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;
