Hi there!

I was wondering if it’s possible to smoothly reverse the speed of an FLV streaming from the web (HTTP, not Flash Server) - that is, play the video backwards. I am using a Video instance to play a NetStream streaming the FLV. I’m waiting for the whole thing to load before playing the video (the video is paused at start), so it would be nice if there was a way to access the buffered data and then play it backwards.

I’m not very hopeful on this one, but anyway… any ideas?

Thanks!
