FLVPlayback Not Playing

1st June 2009 | 2 Comments

I ran across an interesting bug within the FLVPlayback component include with CS4 today.  About half the time the component wouldn't play a video (I think its related to a combination of other classes imported in my FLA).  I tried setting just about every property I could to no avail.  I manage to track down the problem to the event model.  The video progress event would say that the entire video was downloaded, but the video complete event woudn't fire.  The workaround I came up with was to check if the video was downloaded in the progress event then fire the play command.  Its seems to have fixed my problem for now.  Hopefully you won't have to waste a few hours of troubleshooting like me.
