Question

[AS2 CS3/4] Embed external FLV into an MC using AS2 with timeline control

Hi, Is there anyway to skip the process of manually embedding FLVs into SWF files? I want to load FLVs just as I would an external SWF.

I've searched all over and all i can find is how to load FLVs into a FLVPlayer component with stop, play and controls to skip in time intervals.

What I need is the ability to load an external FLV and be able to control it as if it were in a MC on the timeline, not as a streaming video.

There are SO many questions out there about the FLVPlayer its really polluted any and all search results i've tried.

Shedding some light on this for me would be greately appreciated!!!

For anyone looking for an actual solution to this issue. If you're exporting movies out of After Effects, you can export as a SWF.

The only reason I didn't know about this solution is that its not included in the render que options, so just select your comp, go to File > Export and select the setting for exporting as a SWF.

Thank you kglad for the info

flv files aren't movieclips and they don't have timelines. so, no.

So there's no possible way to accomplish this task, even with advanced actionscript techniques?

if you want to control the flv as if it had a timeline like a swf, you must embed the flv manually in a swf.
