application.disconnect( client )

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello;

on server I have pinging loop:
->
ping client's .swf instance;
if no response then application.disconnect( client )
<-

while it loops I pull the internet cable out of the wall which simulates many of the common network shutdowns;

this normally works fine - I can capture the application.onDisconnect;

PROBLEM: if the client is playing a stream then the application.disconnect(client) does not do anything, though a true result is returned;

any thoughts
thanks
