UGH. Terrible coding from the boys at adobe, hope they fix it in the next Flex version...

Here's another question, though. This code will throw the error when the file is missing or unavailable. However, it doesn't seem to throw an error if the file is not a valid FLV file. To test, I made a simple 0 byte text file, renamed it test.flv, and tried to load it. I traced the VideoDisplay's state changes, but all I see is "loading" and "buffering," and the application is stuck there. No connectionError. Any idea how one might test for validity of a FLV before attempting to play it? This just what I was looking for… thanks!

How can we provide an alternative file when the error occurs? Thanks Is there a way to recover from this unresponsive state? How can we provide an alternative file when the error occurs?
