Netconnection events not firing

Would I still be able to poll the server if I don't actually have control of the FMS? My streaming service is through Akamai and I am using the Open Video Player classes for this particular project.

I have had such spotty perfomance from the FLVplayback control I wanted to work with something that I could dig into better when I have connection issues.

I have also noticed today that when running in debugging I am getting the Closed event so my reconnect code fires, but then I never get the Failed event when the cable is still unplugged which is aggravating.

well when  you pull the network cable you will get what is referred to as a "ghost connection"  To counter this you can write a server side/client side script that goes something like this.....the server constantly  asks each client "are you there" the client responds "yes I am" a "ping" if you will. if the client ever fails to contact the server then the server counts to 5(gives the client a chance to  recover if a network conditon temporarily stops connection).  and hard disconnects the client This is the most reliable in my opnion because it doesn't rely on the browser closing However another thing you can do is write a java script that says "just before the browser closes call the client and close the netconnection"...nc.close();
