[as3]Error with video class

[smizzle]

When I try and use the video class in as3, I get this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onMetaData not found on flash.net.NetStream and there is no default value.

Any ideas?

I haven't used the video class yet, but it looks like the help files on adobe's site haven't been updated (just a guess) as they don't follow the new event model. I would think you'd add an event listener to listen to the onMetaData event, then write your own event handler, much like mouse events.

//edit: or maybe i'm wrong, it's documented that way in flex too... it just seems weird. Do you have a listener to handle the AsyncErrorEvent?

thanks that aritcle worked. I wonder why they didn't use listeners and instead went with the weird client object, it seems rather as2 or as1 since everything else is done with listeners.
