AS2 isLive for progressive download issues
Hey having some trouble with my FLV playback video player. I am working with Flash Professional CS5.5 Actionscript 2 and have a video player that uses progressive download. My issue started when it would not consistently recognise the "complete" event listener.
After looking into many solutions I've found some strange issues. Firstly when isLive is false the video won't play until it has finished downloading. However when isLive is true it will play the video while it is downloading, but the seekPercent() won't work unless the video is fully cached. Also while isLive is true the complete event listener doesn't seem to work consistently. What I don't understand is why isLive is affecting progressive download when it should not be applicable to HTTP download.
What also seems to be strange is this only happens in a web browser (Firefox, Chrome, and IE), when viewing from inside Flash's test view (CTRL Enter) or publishing to an exe it plays fine. Another weird issue is my older backup video files work fine in a browser. When I re-export the swf it no longer works the same way. Has anybody encountered this before or know a good workaround?
Thanks Ryan
