UPDATE: i've been tracing out the bytesLoaded, bytesTotal, and playheadTime for my media display components so i can see what is going on. my scenario is that i have 2 media display components and as 1 plays, the other one loads in an flv behind the scenes.
whenever an flv gets loaded behind the scenes, i can see the bytes being loaded and when it's fully loaded, playheadTime=0. but when i load my first flv, the first time, into my 2nd media display, i see the bytes loaded but the playhead time is empty...even when it's fully loaded. the other flvs don't behave like this. could that be my problem? and why might that happen with my very first flv? thanks. -- matt.
