Author 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
