Here's what I found, although the error arguments are not blank as you reported (which might be a sign you need to re-install Adobe Flash plugin in your browse), but generally here is some help assuming those sites are trying to load a Flash skin:

Description:
Here is a combo meal deal of errors that you may get if you are using one of the basic video component skins in Flash. Flash needs to know where the file is and how it interacts with the video you are playing. The reason you will get this error is because the skin didn't load and so Flash is trying to wrap this video skin around your video unsuccessfully which produces ActionScript Error 2044. I have always seen ActionScript 3 error 2044 coupled with ActionScript Error #2036 which says that the load of the skin never completed. I get this error because of the way wordpress handles includes.
Fix:
Put the file on the server and link to the file in the Flash Authoring Environment.
Step 1:
Convert your video into an FLV with either Flash itself or with the bundled Flash Video Encoder.
Step 2:
Import the video and go through the wizard provided. Make sure that you choose the skin you would eventually want to control your video. In the screenshot below I chose the SkinUnderAllNoCaption skin. This step is critical because it is necessary to have Flash auto generate a swf of the skin for you.

If not, no clue without context as to what Flash is attempting to do, but it does make sense it would be a skin issue since you noted the Flash presentation still runs. The skin issue is purely cosmetic in nature.

Make sure that either the file your application is downloading (or uploading) or the server-side script your file is referencing is actually there and it is not corrupted.

All of the above can result in a #2044 error.

When writing error handlers, make sure you handle IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR
along with ErrorEvent.ERROR or else your application may still have the ability to throw the Error #2044 exception.
