This problem is driving us crazy. The idea is simple. We have one instance of the FLVplayback component on stage as well as a playlist of videos. When we click a video in the playlist the FLVplayback instance starts the progressive download and plays the video.

However, when we click a new item in the playlist, the FLVplayback instance won’t start playing this file until it has completed loading the previous file. Stopping playback makes no difference.

Is there a way to stop the FLVplayback instance from playing AND downloading so it is instantly ready to start loading and playing a new one?

Of course removing the instance and attaching it again is an option, but that screws up the functionality of the player’s controls and really feels like a hack that we shouldn’t have to use.

Any ideas?
