Great tutorial – I will try it.
But how do I put in a video-player with this code – you know – with a play-button, stop-button etc… ???

Good video overall, however the error when the metaData is not found is not “Flash freaking out”. Its occurring because the NetStream event doesn’t have a default onMetaData callback function defined.
Many other functions/methods/classes/objects will create this same result. For instance:
// throw an unhandled IOError
new URLLoader().load(new URLRequest(“path/to/fake/file”);
I agree Matt and I never use a video object without an onMetaData callback function. The issue I confront is how to explain some of the bizarre error messages kicked out by the compiler. In this case, if I am in class or at a conference, I can take the minute or two to explain what is going on. When you have a maximum time limit you cut corners and tell those that are new to the technique it is “flash freaking out”. Still thanks for weighing in.
Thanks for the help.
