I'll bet what's happening now is that your listeners don't start

receive the event.

The problem is in how the FLVs are encoded. You have to encode with
keyframes on every frame. Once that's done, they should scroll fine
(although backwards is generaly chunkier than forwards).

You have to use a function because the loading is asynchronous. It

Ah, that works. The only thing is that it requires a double load of the
