Hi. It doesn’t seem that I can embed an FLV directly inside an SWF in any obvious way, and I don’t want my FLVs to be separate files as I want people to just be able to simply copy my SWF over and put it on their own web site - including the video.

I’ve thought about embedding the FLV data as a binary class and loading it in as an FLV in memory as people sometimes do with SWFs, but I don’t think this is possible as there is no native FLV type in the library.

Does anybody have a solution or any ideas about this?
