Hey,

I would like to make a standalone swf file (possibly encoded with Zinc or similar) that would play a predefined set of FLV files. In order to protect the video files, I was thinking about including these in the library and playing them from there.

Is it possible to play flv files from the library? Would I need to convert these to swf first?

Any ideas about how to best solve this are greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
