hi there,  
I may be missing something, but I just can’t figure out, how come something as simple as this doesn’t work.

I place a flvPlayback component on the stage, with the skin parameter set to ‘SkinUnderAll.swf’ (so I’m not using any custom UI components). Then I set the source parameter of flvPlayback to my video.flv and run my flash movie. The video loads and plays, but the seeking doesn’t work. **The seekbar handle jumps to the end of my seekbar and when clicked, the following error is traced** :

VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek  
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seekPercent()  
at fl.video::UIManager/[http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::seekBarListener()](http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::seekBarListener())  
at fl.video::UIManager/[http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::handleRelease()](http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::handleRelease())  
at fl.video::UIManager/[http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::handleMouseUp()](http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::handleMouseUp())

I mean… ActionScript 3 sure is cool, especially with the captions support, but I find it kinda annoying that things that used to be a matter of seconds and used to **work** now simply don’t. :crying:

What should I do? Please help!! anyone… 🙂

Never mind, I figured it out. Apparently, the FLV file itself caused this. It was converted in Total Video Converter, not in Flash. WTF, but whatever 🙂
