FLVPlayback issues

I'm working on a media player that plays progressive flv files. The progress bar doesn't work properly, it appears to extend indefinitely and off the screen. The issue is intermittent. You can see the issue here:

Click on Welcome, then click on High or Medium quality to play. If you don't see the issue the first time, try some different movies.

Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks Kglad, I think I need to strip some stuff away and start testing to find the issue.

Thanks!

that's a parent. if you don't resize the stage does that eliminate the problem?

Hi Kglad. I'm not resizing the stage, but I did turn off resizing the Flvplayback instance that's on the stage. And that did not fix the issue.

Thanks!

No, only the stage instance of FlvPlayback is resized.

Thanks!

Hi Kglad, I've attached some code. the media player is driven by an external xml file. All the buttons in the scrolling nav are populated by this xml file. The FLVplayback is manually placed on the stage. Thanks!

i no longer see your progress bar indicate play-progress. it appears to display download progress ok and i see no distortion of the progress bar.

you're using an flvplayback component and you haven't done any custom skinning, correct?

if so, use the attach code option to display all the code that applies to your flvplayback instance.

Hi Kglad, I've done no custom skinning. I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with the "attach code option." Can you please explain? thanks!

it should work ok if you have autoplay assigned to true and you DON'T execute the play() method.

Thanks kglad. I do have autoplay set to true and I'm not using the play() method, but I'm still seeing the bug on every machine I test.

I tried it in XP on IE and FireFox, and I don't see the progress bar at all. On mac the progress bar extends off the controller to infinity to the right of the controller, on windows it doesn't show at all. I set autoplay to false and now the progress bar functions. Is there a way to have the progress bar work and for the progressively downloaded flv start automatically?

Thanks!
