One of the reasons is that you need to know stream's parameters - like duration, height, width, etc. stream Parameters are not instantly available - they are available in a few moments after you start the stream. You can know these things only when metadata is loaded and have no way to know before it happens. Without knowing this you cannot manipulate the video properly. So by invoking onMetaData you make Flash wait until those things arrive.
