I’m trying to use video within this site and I’m trying to figure out the best way to go about it. Currently I have an embedded FLV in a swf but it doesn’t seem to allow me to start playing it before it’s fully loaded. I tried simply using an FLV progressive download but I need to be able to jump to any frame within the FLV not just keyframes.

Essentially the actions I’m looking for are as follows: Site loads video, when video has buffered enough jump to a random frame from 1-50. Any ideas?? Thanks very much.
