Hi all, i’m having a problem with NetConnection/NetStream/Video. I’m preloading an FLV, but when i click another navigation item, i want the FLV to stop loading/buffering. I’ve tried closing al connections/streams and clear the video with the following code, but it keeps preloading :

```auto

public function unloadStream():void {
	trace("unloadStream called");
	stream.close();
	connection.close();
	video.clear();
}

```

Anyone an idea to completely stop preloading an FLV that hasn’t fully loaded yet???

Thanks a bunch!
