Hell after connection error with FLVPlayback component

[winxalex]

Everything is fine when .flv file exists but what a hell if u hit not existing file. => connectionErorr and there is no way to set and play new .flv even its url is correct. contentPath property stays empty on and on....

import mx.video.*;
import mx.video.VideoError.code
my_FLVPlybk.autoPlay = false;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
   trace(eventObject.toString());
   // my_FLVPlybk.seekSeconds(4);
   trace("Ready:"+my_FLVPlybk.state);
    my_FLVPlybk.play();
   
};



listenerObject.stateChange = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    if(my_FLVPlybk.state == "connectionError")//FLVPlayback.CONNECTION_ERROR)
      {
        trace("State: " + FLVPlayback.CONNECTION_ERROR);
      //What to do here
      //my_FLVPlybk.stop();
      //my_FLVPlybk.close();
      //delete my_FLVPlybk.contentPath;
      }
      else
      trace("State: "+my_FLVPlybk.state);
};
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("ready", listenerObject);
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("stateChange", listenerObject);




var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object){
   trace("In Click:"+my_FLVPlybk.state);
   try {
  _root.my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = _root.tb_URL.text;//"Ali_ali_ali_ali_dal_se_ovaj_Ahmeti_shali.flv";
} catch (err:VideoError) {
// TODO: skip to next video, that one caused an error
trace("Error cateched: "+my_FLVPlybk.state);
}

You can check for the existence of a file using LoadVars, just use LoadVars.load(watheverKindOfFile) and you will get true or false in the onLoad handler.

It's  not a solution that I like but it is a solution despite of that i don't know what is happening when u try to load .flv file and can fell lag even locally probably cos of loading  Didn't know what will happen online. THX

That's an usual problem when using components: if all goes fine, then ok. If something fails, probably you don't know what happens. Lately I have builded many players (I'm working on www.vpod.tv) Monitoring NetStream.onStatus is the only way of having a feedback (buffertime, playing, buffer empty, stream not found, etc) Aditionally some back-end script to deliver something when no content is there is an add.
