Stale image from earlier playback after I close the stream and play another name

I don't think there is much to add to the subject. It is a bug, anyhow.

Let's say I am playing content from publisher A which is displayed in a video. I then close the stream, and issue a play call for content B on this same stream object. If publisher B is slow enough (no new data arrives for a short while), I manage to catch a glimpse of OLD UNRELATED content from publisher A! Why is this, and is there anything I can do about it?

By the way Video.clear is broken in Flash Player 10, and that's public knowledge. However, I am not sure the clear method alleviates the problem. Even if you clear the video, the stale data appears afterwards anyway.

    It looks like it is flash player bug not FMS bug. I think it would be better if you post your query to Flash Player forum meanwhile I will try to see if it has anything to do with FMS. By the way I tried the below scenario and it didnt worked :

    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.Camera;

    cam = Camera.getCamera();
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showCamera);
    clear_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopCamera);

    function showCamera(e:MouseEvent) {
    trace("showCamera() called.");
    videoBox.attachCamera(cam);
    }
    function stopCamera(e:MouseEvent) {
    trace("stopCamera() called.");
    videoBox.attachCamera(null);
    videoBox.clear();
    }

    Regards,

    Amit
