issues with FLVPlayback component

I'm having a bunch of issues with the Adobe FLVPlayback
1.0.1  
component, and am wondering if anyone has experience with
this.

Specifically what is happening is that the component is
reporting odd  
or incorrect states. For example, I will tell the player to
play() a  
clip, and it will begin playing. However, the internal state
of the  
component will be paused, and that's what's broadcast by
the players  
stateChange event. Internally, since the player thinks it's
paused,  
it doesn't run its playheadUpdate loop, so my player class
is not  
notified of changes in playback position.

Other times, the component will say it's stopped when it's
not (video  
is clearly playing), so my buffer indicator will stay
onscreen.

Also, the player "ready" event often doesn't
fire. I've written some  
code which uses private methods of the component to force it
to  
become "ready" in these cases, but even that
isn't helping much of  
the time.

I am using HTTP streaming from theplatform.com, but was
having other,  
worse issues when using RTMP.

After Googling around, it seems that there is some consensus
on the  
fact that the FLVPlayback component is somewhat buggy. I'm
wondering  
if anyone has found workarounds for these issues, or found
another  
component which is more reliable?

thanks,
-josh
