I have seen this question asked a couple different places. But I am yet to see the answer.

I am creating dynamic FLVPlayback componenets on my page with attachmovie.

Once I start loading paused FLV files into these components, the system sits trying to load one at a time for about 3 minutes.

How can I get the movies to stop their load after a couple seconds worth? (But not kill or replace the partial loaded, paused flv)

I have tried:  
if (myVideo.bytesLoaded \> 10000) {myVideo.close();}

or

```
if (myVideo.bufferTime &gt; 2) {myVideo.close();}

```

but had no success. Anyone?
