RE: [Flashcoders] flv stop loading / close netconnection
Hi David, I didn't see it was you. :-) In fact it was you who gave me this solution a few days ago The FLVplayback has a reconnected() function. Called by the VideoPlayer object to ask for reconnection after the connection is lost. Once the connection is either successful or failed, call the VideoPlayer.ncReconnected() method. If the connection failed, set nc = null before calling.

Hi David when you .close() the connection to the netstream object/video it stops the download and you lose the connection. I would also remove it from the displaylist. If you then want to go back to that same video after using .close() then you have to make a new connection to the video. So reload the videoplayer basically.

RE: [Flashcoders] flv stop loading / close netconnection
Thanks for responding Erik. Unfortunately I can't use closeVideoPlayer() as it shuts the default player which isn't allowed. On a side note I can't find anything in the docs on adding new instances of VideoPlayer Class to an FLV even though there is plenty of talk of getting different VideoPlayer classes stacked inside an FLVPlayback instance (eg. myFLVPlayback.getVideoPlayer() or myFLVPlayback.visibleVideoPlayerIndex ) . Any ideas? I have temporarily solved the problem with the nastiest workaround ever by passing # as the source. Seems to work for some reason but I'm sure it will come back and bite me. In the end I may have to make a new instance of FLVPlayback for each video and kill the old instance.
