I've just read all previous posts (I think) on the topic of flvs not playing
completely. The solutions haven't worked, and my problem is slightly different.

We have many swfs that play external .flvs using the FLVPlayback component.
They've worked just fine. Recently we had the audio translated to other
languages and put into our original QT movies. Then we re-encoded them as
flvs. Now the videos play all the way through, but when they're done they seem
to get stuck on the last frame of the video instead of proceeding along the
..fla timeline.

I tried re-encoding in QT at 44.1, per the solutions found on the web and this
forum, but it didn't make any difference.

We are using the following ActionScript to control the movies (given to me
very kindly last year by someone smart on this forum):

stop();
var vidList:Object = new Object();
vid.contentPath = "0002h03.flv";
vidList.complete = function() {
play();
// this can be anything, it will happen when the movie is finished playing
};
vid.addEventListener("complete", vidList);

Is there anything we can do inside this script to make the movie go forward?
If not, does anyone have other ideas?

Thanks,
Mary

All righty, we found one answer, but it doesn't work for all of the hundreds of
..flv files we're working with. I just reviewed abo;ut 50 files and found the
same problem in about 20%.

We started with .mov files that had been compressed using Compressor, a couple
of years ago.

Those files then had the new audio added, and were then compressed again.
They were fine as .mv4 files. But when we encoded them again using Flash Video
Encoder, they did that annoying thing of stopping at the very end of the file.

So now we encoded the uncompressed files (with new audio added) as .flvs, and
they're fine. But not all of them! Some still stop at the end. It's really
at the final frame or so of the video. When you right-click the .swf file and
select Play, the video finishes up immediately.

It seems as though there's some sort of stop encoded into the .flv.

What the heck? We really need to fix this!

I should mention that we are using progressive download when we put these into
our .fla files.

Thanks,
Mary
