Help is needed!

For the NetStream loader it doesn't have the optimal solution it first save the file to local >disc and then play. t will be perfect if it could buffer the stream and in end create file out of >it.

It is what I do in one of my demo project using Thread to download files concurrently.

I use an URLStream to download internet files and each 0.5s, I write in a FileStream what there's is in the content loader using a ByteArray buffer, even if the user pause and terminate the Thread and restart the download again, what I do is I restart the download from the cache, I check first the file size didn't change on the server, if it has changed (could happen), I start the download again but from scratch, to know if the size of the of file has changed on the server I use SQLite to store the info.

You can have a look at the Runnable (a bit the same than a Worker but managed by a Thread and created in-memory): https://github.com/doublefx/easyWorker/blob/master/moreFlexDemo/downloadFileThread-Demo/src/infrastructure/thread/impl/DownloadFileRunnable.as

I hope it will help you to achieve your goal but if you have any question about the implementation, just ask.

Frédéric,

Your Thread project looks very elegant - I will be certainly look at it more when I have a bit of spare time.

To get around the issue above I simply added an Event.OPEN listener to the urlLoader and played the stream while the COMPLETE event fired the save to cache in the background. It works well - I will upload if anyone is interested?
