If a web page is having latency problems, like YouTube during heavy load times
(like now, 9:30pm PST), then AIR's HTMLLoader has all kinds of problems.
From rendering stuff completely incorrectly, to failing to pass Flash player
detection, to this crazy error that got spit out when I tried to load a YouTube
URL in it and it hung for about 20 seconds until finally this junk was spit into
the output window:

Debug session terminated.
Note that none of these variables are mine. Also note that Firefox doesn't have
the same latency that AIR is having. This is running in Flash CS3 IDE Debug
Mode AIR publishing. Trivial code here, too. I'm literally just creating an
HTMLLoader and telling it to load this YouTube URL.
Any ideas?
I'd like to point out that Firefox actually loads that same URL fairly quickly
(maybe 5-7 seconds with latency) but AIR is significantly slower every time.
Sometimes it succeeds at loading it and rendering the page correctly, sometimes
it loads the page but the YouTube player is drawn above the stage about half its
height, sometimes it crashes Flash when it hangs too long.
