Linked video, streaming video in Flash MX

1

hi!

so, I want to be able to import and publish video in Flash. I know how to work with video when I embed it into the .swf, that’s farly easy, but my problems come here:

how to control/make controls for linked video?

why the hell can’t I get anything workin when I try to publish a file with linked video (even when I publish it as a .mov)

How to preload large (~10 mb) files when the content is offline, say a cdrom?

so in a nutshell, are there any tricks in flash and video, especially when the content is offline. Communication Server MX is solution for online streaming, but offline?

it’s **** hard to make a decent cd-rom, when you want to work with flash and use video. please help!?!?!?!?!?!

Hmm, have you considered using a program like Flix Lite? It is quite good at streaming large video files.

Cheers!

yes, well I suppose ComSrever would be good too, but right now I’m struggling with offline video content. I would like to use external video files, so the size of the preloadale swf’s wouldn’t get too large like 10 mb’s.

any tips, mate?
