So I am loading some very poorly built AS2 swfs into an AS3 file.

I am able to open them and close them (addChild and removeChild)

All is good there. The problem I am now faced with is each of these AS2 swfs contain video using the AS2 FLVPlayback component. When I open the first SWF, the video plays fine, I close the SWF(removeChild). Then I go to open the next and the video will not play.

If I reload the page and open that second video first, it works.

It seems when I watch a video for the first time no matter which AS2 swf I pick, it works. Its when I close it and open another one is when it doesn’t work…

Can you guys think of anything?
