Dear All,

I'm trying to play flv in my air application by using FLV playback in flash cs5.5.

I can play flv in the pc but not on the samsung galaxy tab andriod platform.

if anyone out there has tried out FLV playback with either an Air For Android application, where the FLV files are packaged within the app, or either streaming via normal http//:, any help  would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Where do you save the video in the .apk ?

Did you rename the APK to ZIP and look of the video is in there?

Where is the video located inside your apk file?

And most importantly, do you use FLVplayback component? How is it setup?

I sometimes have problems with flv too, but to me it looks like you should not set the flvplayback to AUTOPLAY.

Kind regards,

Bart

Dear EducaSoft_Bart,

Thank you very much for your info.

Yes, FLVplayback component properties on AUTOPLAY.

But I just imported the video from flash cs 5.5 and is there any other way to save the video in the .apk?

When I changed the .apk to .zip I didn't see any video inside.That's why I can't see the video on my andriod tablet, I guess.

So could I know how to save the video in .apk file?

Thanks again!

First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.

to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.

In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project

Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.

Using the + icon you can add your video.

Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)

If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \

Good luck
