Embedded video - HELP!

programming flash
1

I’m going to ask the same question again - as I think I poorly explained myself before.

What is the best way to have a video clip in your Flash webpage? Should I embedd the video in the swf file itself - or use some kind of LoadMovie command and load it from an external source?
Also, how do I make it so that when you view the webpage, the videoclip has play/pause/volume controls?

Please help I’m seirously low on time for this!

(Apologies for re-posting, getting desperate)

When using flash video (flv), you can:

  • Embedd the video in the swf (not recommended for web apps)
  • Make Progressive download from a web server (I think you r looking for this)
  • Make streaming through a Mediaserver.

The best option is obviously the streaming from a mediaserver (FMS3, Wowza, Red5…) but you need to install the mediaserver on the machine server or acquire a data plan in a media streaming company.

But you can simulate that streaming with a “progresive download” from a normal webserver (Apache, IIS, etc). Its quite simple… In flash: File>Import>Import Video. then you choose the type of video, the video, the codec, the size, the skin of the controls and… done

Just follow the assistant…
