Maybe this is not appropriate for you but since I also had this problem
I always put the dimensions in the xml file from which the application
gets its content. Its not dynamic but reliable.

Hi, just a little comment, but if the size reported results in 0 by 0
pixels, you can always set a condition that sets it to a
minimum/default size... hopefully the aspect-ratio is not also a
variable.
good luck!

Metadata aside though, I think it's a bit of a flaw to not have

when the buffer is full all the time, it seems quite illogical to me.

how hard is it for Adobe to have a consistent and flawless way of

well..

I haven't found any better way of solving the problem, to be honest.
So I'm all ears.

No, I'm actually using the Video object along with the Netstream

Wonder how that
ready event gets fired though, wouldn't be surprised if it's also
fired
on a
buffer full, either
that or using timers (amuse yourself and watch the VideoPlayer and
FLVPlayback code
in the flash folder, count the number of timers used ;))

If you're using the FLVPlayback component, use the "ready" event:

Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV: reliable height&width dimensions
Hi Folks,
I've been having trouble reliably getting FLV dimensions with both
progressive and streaming files.
I'm current using the buffer full event to resize the video
proportionally,
therefore needing videoHeight
and videoWidth. The problem is that once every now and again those
dimensions start out at 0 0, even
when the buffer is full.
Furthermore the metadata has no dimension information, so can't use
that
either (plus I've heard onMetaData is unreliable as well).
Any good solutions on this?
Possible solutions would be to check on an interval wether the value
changes(this would really be unpreferable). Also, since I re-use the
Video object in the playlist, that video-object keeps remembering
the
videoHeight/videoWidth of the previous video whenever the current
video
has not overridden it yet, making it impossible to do a simple
enterframe/timer kill whenever it is greater than 0 or has changed,
since
I
can't
be sure of that (next video might have same dimensions..).
So I'm a bit stuck here, I really don't want to have an infinite
interval
checking the dimensions... Any suggestions?
