FMS Audio (MP3) Glitches - Hosting Issue or Not

I've got several webinars that an associate of mine helped me build several years ago in Flash MX 2004. They are about 40 minutes long, but have been broken into about 8 chapters (seperate .swf files). The .swf files connect to audio (mp3) streams running off of an external hosted FMS server via RTMP. We are using the older MediaDisplay and MediaPlayback components from MX 2004 to play the audio while the screens within Flash are setup with cuepoints to sync to the audio.

This has worked for years, except the problem is that the chapters do not always seem to make the connection to the external FMS audio. Sometimes simply pressing the pause button on and off will get it to play. Other times you have to refresh the screen. I can't figure out if this is a hosting issue or not. We have tried a few different FMS hosts at this point at about the $100/month plans, but keep having the same problems.

What can we do to eliminate (or diminish) these connection problems? We really don't want to redevelop these at this point in time, so if there is anything we can do to modify what we have or our hosting, that would be helpful.

thanks,

    It sounds like the swf doesn't handle onSync correctly. I would suggest logging the connection event, stream events, etc to gain more insight into the problem (both client side logging and server side).
