Ive built a pretty nice video payer for swf “movie” files. So be fore I go any further with it I wanted to extend it to run flv files too. So far this has been a major pain. Im thinking ill buy one of the flash 8 action script books but some how I don’t see it helping. Everything ive read so far tells me to use the flv components… But I don’t want to! I want to adapt my action script from my already working swf player to an flv player… Does anyone have any good tutorials or tips to creating an flv player without components? ive managed to load play and pause an flv and also controll the audio but i want a video progress bar and rewind and fast forward button… And am I the only one who dislikes components? LoL I like to build my own stuff ---
