Topic: Chumby Frozen on Fireplace...

I have a test channel which the Fireplace widet is part of.
For the last few days I've come home to find chumby stuck on the last frame of Fireplace.
It's pretty much dead, no control panel,
I reset and everything starts fine.

Wonder if there's some sort of memory leak or bug?

I also have a fireplace widget lockup. Same symptoms, frozen on the widget.

I wrote it and the code is minimal. I'll post it below. If it's happening a lot maybe its a memory leak  after a lot of plays or something going wrong when the widget tries to unload. Any suggestions are welcome.

I also run it (and haven't seen it freeze) but I only have 5 widgets altogether.



//Blank MovieClip on Stage named "mcScreen" and a Video Object named "vidObj"

this.stop();

var currentVideo:String;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
vidObj.attachVideo(ns);
var video1:String = "http://www.archive.org/download/fireplace/FireplaceGlenLakeMi.11-06-07.flv";
var video2:String  = "http://akvideos.metacafe.com/ItemFiles/%5BFrom%20www.metacafe.com%5D%20297050.2181823.11.flv";
var time = new Date().getMilliseconds();
trace(time);
if(time % 2==0)
{
    currentVideo = video1;
}else
{
    currentVideo = video2;
}
ns.play(currentVideo);
mcScreen.onRelease = function()
{
    if(currentVideo == video1)
    {
        currentVideo = video2;
    }else
    {
        currentVideo = video1;
    }
    ns.play(currentVideo);
}

I also only get a white screen; can't get fireplace to run.
