In the Chrome debugger's 'Network' tab, the 'Other' sub-tab shows a .flv Flash file being played. I'm trying to figure out exactly where/how that .flv URL is being generated, but I've looked through the JS for the site and can't figure out where it comes from.
Is there a way to set a breakpoint for when that .flv file starts getting streamed/played so that I can figure out how it's URL is being put constructed?
The request headers for the flv file in the Chrome debugger show X-Requested-With:ShockwaveFlash/24.0.0.194. So the request comes from Flash rather than from a JS file I think.
Or any other ways to figure it out?
Either the embedded SWF (Flash) app has specific code to construct the url (then method is unknowable) or else the app is reading the url from somewhere like a JSON or XML text file.
It could also construct by reading the text within an HTML / JS file. Third possibility is that PHP is involved in generating a link. So check the Network tab for such things (xml, json,php files which you open in a "new tab" to read).
Was there no flv found when you word-search the source of html or JS?...
If all else fails then provide a testable link.
PS: To answer your Question : There's no loader breakpoints / load pausing in Chrome.
