FYI, When I post to this list I'm openly and honestly explaining my situation. I would never suggest that someone with as much experience as yourself 'pulled code out of their ass'. I have a fair bit of experience myself and it wasn't working for me.
The links I included were simply to illustrate that others had the same difficulty. No they didn't have the answers, or I wouldn't have needed to post here asking for help. I was calling ns.pause() nz.close() I wasn't setting the object to null or waiting x milliseconds. I didn't want to re-instantiate the object. A delay was something I was considering. What it turned out to be was that in some other class in the same sequence of events the NetConnection object instance was having it's setServer method called *before* the ns.pause() and ns.close(). I rearranged the code and it worked. Streams terminate as they should. Client is happy. Seriously, thank-you for your help, I do appreciate it. There's no need to get upset mate.

I have tackled this exact issue for a client that needed to stop a stream from downloading when they closed the stream, and couldn't actually kill streams when the user interaction resulted in spamming new NetStreams. The solution is to throttle the requests, using the exact code I provided. If you're saying you call ns.pause(); ns.close(); ns = null; and the NetStream continues to download afterwards *when you do not attempt to open another NetStream*, then there's something else going on because that works. If you immediately try to play another stream, even if it's not on same NetStream instance, then the previous one will not stop downloading (that's the bug). When you throttle the requests for new streams, the problem goes away. -Steven _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Scanned by Bizo Email Filter _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
