play four video clips then freeze in IE
H!
I am having the strangest problem with video playback in IE. The flv-files are loaded by external swf's that are loaded into a container through buttons with loadMovie-scripts. All clips load fine. However, after having watched four clips, I am unable to watch any more clips. In fact, no swf's can load at all, although the interface works correctly. This problem also arises if I click on the same clip five times...
Firefox doesn't seem to have this problem. Any ideas on what is going on?
Take a look at http://www.lega.se/flashsite_eng and click on 'Lega-TV'
Thanks!
ActionScript 3 a solution?
Has anyone seen this happen in ActionScript 3? I am considering porting my code to AS3 to try to solve this as I don't see any other way. My application loads slides as SWF's and the connection freezes really quickly for some people. On most systems it's completely trouble free but when it happens the browser will not communicate with the server at all. Even the launch window that launched the browser can't communicate. I have to open a new browser window and then it works again.
ActionScript 3 doesn't solve
So I tried recoding the test provided in this link in ActionScript 3 and discovered the bug is still there.
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-44
I put his test online here:

And in ActionScript 3 (ignore the hugeness of the images)

Just hit f5 as soon as you see the first image load. If you have the bug the browser will hang. If you don't have the bug you can hit f5 all you want and all the images will eventually load.
Delete your cache between tests or it won't work.
I'm seeing the bug on IE7 and FireFox 2 under Vista64, but also on an IE6/XP system and it's been reported on other combinations. Both systems are running Flash Player 9 (latest as of June 8 08)
