seek()
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
memberOrSpriteObjRef.seek(milliseconds)
// JavaScript syntax
memberOrSpriteObjRef.seek(milliseconds);
Description
RealMedia sprite or cast member method; changes the media stream’s playback location to the
location specified by the number of milliseconds
from the beginning of the stream. The
mediaStatus value usually becomes #seeking and then #buffering.
You can use this method to initiate play at points other than the beginning of the RealMedia
stream, or to jump forward or backward in the stream. The integer specified in
milliseconds is
the number of milliseconds from the beginning of the stream; thus, to jump backward, you
would specify a lower number of milliseconds, not a negative number.
