Description
If connections to this example's RTMP server are blocked for port 1935 (by a corporate firewall, for example), the player will display an error:
Server not found: rtmp://...
However, after waiting several seconds (up to a minute), the video will begin playing anyway, without any user interaction.
Expected behavior would be for the player to remain in a buffering state until the RTMPT failover was successful.

Fixed by explicitly setting port numbers. Flash will then swiftly advance from rtmpt:80 to rtmpt:443.
