[Red5] deleteStream called

Thanks Carl.  The symptom I saw was the Video object was playing the 
subscribed NetStream just fine and then it would 'freeze' (followed by a 
deleteStream call via RTMP to the server).  There were no events 
dispatched from the video or netstream components.  So, there was not an 
opportune time to call clear.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding how clear 
would be used in this case?

Thanks,
-Jeff
