Question

NetConnection problem in IE 8 and Flash10

Hello!

I hava a problem when connecting to a media server in IE: there is a delay of several seconds (more than a minute sometimes) until the connection is perceived as established. This delay does not happen in netscape-based browsers. I wanted to known if I am doing something wrong or if there is a problem in the current version of the flash plug-in on IE (I think this is very unlikely).

Detailed description:

- I am using the NetConnection objec to connect to the red 5 media server using the rtmpt protocol (using ActionScrpit 3).

- Using wireshark to see the HTTP traffic I can see that the connection with the media server does not take more than a second or two to be established even in IE; the rest of the time only the "idle" command is send.

- Using trace I can see that in Firefox that the NetConnection.Connect.Success event is generated right after the connection is established. Using the same trace i can see that the NetConnection.Connect.Success event is not generated in IE, being generated only several seconds after the connection is established or if the user minimizes the IE screen and maximizes it again.

- I am using the current version of the flash player (10.2.159.1) and IE 8 (8.0.6001.18702)

Any help is appreciated!!!
