Hello all,

Firstly I must say I love this site great Flash tutorials. I have a quick question which I hope people can help me with. I am by no means a pro at Flash in fact I have only been using it sparingly for the last year but am starting to warm to it.

I have a FLV player at the moment which I have skinned etc, and supports an XML playlist. I would like to extend its functionallity so I can allow it to read .mov, .mpeg etc. I have not got a clue how to do this and assume it is some codec thing that needs looking at, can anyone help me with this problem please.

Steve
