Using Flash 8 Pro I have built the most basic flv player...Basically dropped FLVPlayback component on frame 1 set the content path to an RTMP server location in the properties pane. I set it to download and get the cuepoints. All cuepoints are type "navigation". The skin is set to steelExternalAll. Version is 1_0_1.
The video is long...approx 45 mins. Encoded and added cuepoints with Squeeze 4.5.
I also put a stop(); in frame 1.
When I test the player, it successfully connects to the server and plays the flv. If I just let the video play without interacting with it, it plays until the end successfully.
If I try to click the forward or backward buttons or use the seekbar, the video seeks to the location, plays for a short while longer and then freezes. I believe it freezes at the next cuepoint but I cannot be sure. The barber pole appears. Further seeking and forward or backward clicks do nothing. I can sometimes unfreeze it by randomly clicking the buttons, but it only plays for a short while and then freezes again.
In testing this I have added listeners to see if the state changes and it does not. I have tried using custom controls and have programmed my own button functionality and this has not fixed it. I have tested other FLVs.
Everytime same thing.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? Or a possible workaround?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer...as more time elapses the more urgent this becomes. Deadline middle of next week at latest. Deliverable is much more robust but I went back to basics isolate the problem, and sure enough it is still there.
