Just an update... your technique of importing fl.video.FLVPlayback, VideoPlayer (and many others so compiler errors would not result) did not work. No line numbers were forthcoming from the compiler. Looking at the profiler and the debugger variables was no help in identifying a possible culprit.
What finally solved the problem, after many hours of hacking through fl.video source code, was simply copying FLVPlaybackAS3.swc into the /libs folder to complement FLVpb.swc. Somehow that SWC overwrote the problem inherent in the FLVPlayback compiled from Flash into FLVpb.swc. Very strange. _______________________________________________________________ Joseph Balderson, Flash Platform Developer | http://joeflash.ca Alex Harui wrote: > yeah > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > *On Behalf Of *Joseph Balderson > *Sent:* Monday, August 11, 2008 3:29 PM > *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > *Subject:* Re: [flexcoders] FLVPlayback in Flex produces RTE #1009 when > setSize() is called for a bad URL > > > > That's a neat trick... you mean copying FLVPlayback.as into /src/fl/video ? > __________________________________________________________ > > Joseph Balderson, Flash Platform Developer | http://joeflash.ca > <http://joeflash.ca> > > Alex Harui wrote: >> You can just copy that one file into the folder structure in your >> project source.
