FLV performance and garbage collection

I'm building a large flash site (AS3) that uses huge FLVs as transition videos from section to section. The FLVs are 1280x800 and are being scaled to 1680x1050 (much of which is not displayed to users with smaller screens), and are around 5-8 seconds apiece. I'm encoding the videos using On2's hi-def codec, VP6-S, and playback is prett...

Is there an FLVPlayback onHttpError?

I'm able to tell if an image path was file-not-found or not, because I can attach to the loaders httpStatus. I can't find anything similar for an FLV (not using streaming).

FLVPlayback component won't seamlessly loop

Everything I've tried so far with a FLVPlayback component to seemlessly loop a progressively-downloaded 15 second video has failed. There's always a split-second pause when it's time to loop. For the scenario, embedding video in a flash project is not an option, and the split-second pause is unacceptable. I've tried setting autorewind...

Prevent FLV Buffering (AS FLVPlayback component)

Hi folks, I have a client who is insisting on having a 65Mb FLV on her home page.

Flash AS3 FlvPlayback Skin calling parent swf

Hello, I have an FlvPlayback skin, which works really well, except the custom button. Basically this button needs to be able to call a function in the parent movieclip (that loaded the FlvPlayback, which in turn loaded the skin). I am not really a Flash developer, and have not found anything on Google relating to this. It seems like a ...
