So I was working on a project that involved encoding some quicktime movies to FLV. No big deal except that the FLV's had to be progressive and when I built my FLV viewer using the NetStream object, I could not for the life of me figure out why everything worked great with the exception of my seek bar to scrub the downloaded portion of the movie.
Apparently, when working with progressive FLV's, it's best to encode them with a frequent keyframe rate so that a seek control will work well.
Wonder where that was in the documentation ;)
Thanks to PixelFumes for letting me in on that.

Mmmm.
It's annoying in't it. I bashed my head on a wall with this about 6 months ago and finally came to the same conclusion out of trial and error.
I did post my findings at meshybeats.com, as I found it while demo'ing one of the flv components Dene had authored, but as you say, it's not in the docs, or easily found...
Does using FLVTool2 help?
