does anyone know why loading videos doesnt work smoothly in AS3…

im using a loader to load swf’s which contains (flv) videos and it loads up and works fine offline but it gets stuck online…

i’ve used removing childs and loader.unload() and everything i could find for unloading… but it just doesnt work…

does anyone know how to stop a video from loading to the memory in AS3??

all i had to do in AS2 was use unloadMovie() and it stops the video from loading further…

Thanks
