Hey thanks for your response. I haven't tried with a different video or FMS just because of the randomness of the bug. It's not something I can easily reproduce by following certain steps it just kind of happens randomly. I never really thought the problem could be with the video or FMS since it was the actual as3 video event that's giving me trouble.
I like your idea about polling the playheadTime though, that seems like it might be a solid work around for this.
