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.

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”);

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… ???
