Basically I've also concluded that the bufferingBar component is worthless and doesn't really behave how I want it to.... seems like it ought to be a class with accessible methods and properties so you could change timing or whatever else... anyway I ended up making my own, doing a boolean to check for pauses not initiated by the video catching up to the buffer threshold, and listening for STATE_CHANGE and checking the .state property of the event to handle different states, rather than doing separate listeners for BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED, PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED etc. i.e. private function doStateChange(e:VideoEvent):void { if (e.state == "buffering" || e.state == "loading") { showBuffer(); } and so on. Anyway thanks for validating my confusion, your post helped me figure this out. I came across the exact same problem which led me to your post here.

i.e.

private function doStateChange(e:VideoEvent):void {
if (e.state == “buffering” || e.state == “loading”) {
showBuffer();
}

and so on. Anyway thanks for validating my confusion, your post helped me figure this out.
