Hi Glen,
thanks, but that's exactly what I do, but it answers not the related questions:
a) what, if I need the video for a second DisplayObject at the same
time on stage, does it load faster, because it was cached?
b) play() and pause() leads to unwanted sound behaviors when the video
consists of sound
c) how to set the video to the real size? I always need to wait for
metadata, which is really ugly. Otherwise the video is set to default
320x480.
Any thoughts?
Is it perhaps possible to load the FLV as ByteArray and later load the
Netstream from this ByteArray, which might be faster and done a second
time, too?
