VideoLoader with StageVideo on iPad doesn't report progress or complete events

[wrench]

Just a bit of a heads up for any folks using Air on iOS to be careful of relying on the VideoLoader's complete and progress events. Is looks like netStream's attached to a StageVideo instance on iOS never report anything their bytesLoaded as being 0, and thus the mechanism for VideoLoader to report on it's loading progress is lost. Took me a while to figure out that that was what was going on, so hopefully this post will help somebody else.

 

If there's any workarounds for this, I'm all ears

Just found the following information in the Support for H.264 encoded video in AIR for iOS section of the Adobe documentation for NetStream which corroborates what I mentioned above:
