Hi.
I need to play FLV files in flash...
My client has a number of flash video files within compressed
archives that we are trying to play. I've created a custom browser
application atop XULRunner for the client and implemented a custom
protocol, "package://" which basically reads the multimedia from
the compressed archives.
When the HTML page is loaded within the browser application,
the SWF loads fine and the FLV player controls are visible. But
when play is clicked the video FLV file is not played and the
progress indicator just cycles. From the debug output statements
inside my protocol channel, Flash does not even appear to try and
request the flash video file.
Note:
The SWF can however load the preview JPG and XML file from
the same directory.
Testing in FF with the same compressed archive file also
reveals that Mozilla's JAR protocol and channel has the same
problem.
I know little about flash and how it loads movies but I'm
guessing it is either a problem with Flash player permissions or
the movie loading function does not use the browser's protocols?
Would love to hear back any thoughts, opinions and hopefully
solutions. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
James
