Yeah, we’re looking at improving the
media components for 2.0 to hopefully avoid issues like this.

Thanks for the reply,
When I use the "start" event to start
playing the attached swf, the
swf starts playing but the stream doesn't start
playing for a little
longer and since I am using the Media Component I
can't tell if its
buffering or doing what. I do know the play
head doesn't really start
playing until its done with what its doing (which
clearly looks like
buffering). So in short the
"start" event is fired but the video
doesn't play for a while. I had to end up
doing the syncing off the
change event which is not very reliable but is
doable. As when the
playHead moves the video really is playing.
But the other thing was (Non-Flex or Non-Media
components) articles I
saw about NetStream and streaming FLV had some
examples about showing
a loader during the buffering time with
netStream.onStatus. So I was
hoping for a easy way to get control of the
stream's instance to do
the normal FCS FLV streaming enhancements.
With Media components I
can't get figure out what is really related to
what and loose the
power of talking with FCS. I guess I will
have to ditch the Media
Components and create a custom component to use in
Flex to really get
it to work. A little disappointed.
