flash actionscript: Anybody got a tip for connecting just a little icon instead of having the
seek/progress bar. I want to replace the normal _xscale property with just an
_x coordinate to move the icon as the progress bar would. I'm almost there
but...

var handlePos:Number = (_root._xmouse-loadBar._x);

function videoUpdate () {
handle._x = (ns.time/ns.duration) *100-handlePos;
}

okay, there, it's moving

but the scrub is kiling me... can't get the formula right to keep the cursor
and the handle together when you drag and seek.

function vidScrub() {
var distance:Number = (_root._xmouse-loadBar._x)/loadBar._width;
ns.seek(Math.floor(ns.duration*distance));
handle._x = (ns.time/ns.duration) *100-handlePos;

thanks for any help

I may have misunderstood something about your setup, but wouldn't this work?

function vidScrub() {
var distance:Number =
Math.min(1,(_root._xmouse-loadBar._x)/loadBar._width);
ns.seek(ns.duration*distance);
handle._x = loadBar._x + (distance* loadBar._width)

Tony, Thanks much. That did the trick for the scrub function , just the one
line was needed

[Q]handle._x = loadBar._x + (distance* loadBar._width)[/Q]

feel like a dope but I still can't figure the syntax for the icon to move at
the front of the progress bar

function videoUpdate () {
progressBar._xscale = (ns.time/ns.duration) *100;
timecode.text = getTimeCode(ns.time);
handle._x = HELP

Here's what it looks like now, http://smashography.com/flv_players/

Let me know if I can return the favor

Perfect, thanks again.
