Description

Hello, I see that v0.4.0.7 added hls.flushBuffer() and exposed hls object in flashlsOSMF. Should it then be possible to call this directly from JavaScript when using the Grind player from your examples? Or will it require some proxying in Flash to expose that?

Great HLS player by the way!

Research direction
Investigate the flashls v0.4.0.7 source to see how the hls object is exposed in the OSMF bridge (flashlsOSMF). Look at the Grind player example to understand the current JS to Flash communication layer. Determine if a direct JavaScript call to hls.flushBuffer() is possible without modification, or if proxying in ActionScript is required. Check any comments or related issues for hints on implementation.
