Hi there,

I’m trying to develop an application that seamlessly swithches between flvs on the fly. I’ve just discovered the activeVideoPlayerIndex property of the FlvPlaybackComponent - which in theory looks like it could help me out big time - except I’m wandering how resource heavy it is - If I had 22 flvs loaded into separate indexes does that essentially mean having 22 flvs loaded into memory all the time ? If so maybe it would be better to just load in say 4 at a time and load in the next four dynamically as the videos play - but that is going to be far more horrible to code…

Has anyone played with this before?

Many thanks!!
