I've noticed that I'm not the only one with this problem. Everything works but when getting bytesloaded it returns nothing but 0's. I'd like this question answered if not for me but for others out there. Is this a FMS bug? I'm able to get it working if I'm downloading the flv through HTTP but RTMP just doesn't do it. If I use HTTP tunneling would that work? Some body please HELP!

    That's not a bug. Bytesloaded applies to http files. For a stream, you want to work with time or keyframes.

    The whole purpose of using a streaming server is that you don't have to preload anything. Perhaps I'm missing something about why you'd want to preload the video?

    No, I totally understand now, Your totally right. I found it more convienient to use a content delivery service now.
