Flv files and swf files, do they flow around the net?

Do you have a question about FLV files, stream FLV files when you publish them online? I am linking to multiple FLV files on the internet and want to have a seamless video viewing experience.

SWF files look ok -

I don't want people to download FLV files before playing them, it's always a pain.

FLV files will not be recognized by your browser as mime-type, so they will be loaded. You will need a SWF file that reads FLV and plays it.

Yes and no. They are not entirely streaming like something that can be obtained from a streaming media server (for example - Windows Media or Real or Adobe streaming server). The user uploads the file, and eventually the entire file will be uploaded. However, FLV files behave like streaming video, as the Flash is capable of doing some buffering and the format itself is frame-based, allowing the file to start playing before it is loaded.



I should point out that most modern video formats (like Windows Media and QuickTime) work the same way.

Download the free Flex SDK and create a simple FLV player with it. Compile the AS file with mxmlc

. The liveocs Video sample is a good place to start.
