If you're using the Flash classes for playback (like the FLVPlayback class), it actually looks at the suffix of the loaded url to determine whether it's an FLV or xml (playlist?). You can hack it to work by loading
video1.flv?id=26-09-2006&type=.flv I haven't actually dug through the classes to see where this braindead code is (it should look at the suffix before the query string). I think you also get a trace statement when the class realizes it has loaded something that's not valid xml (or it may be a status callback). --Brian On 9/26/06, Jake Prime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi I have been working on a Flash website which is going through several series of updates. To prevent caching, whenever the site is updated I push the new date into the main flash file, and this is passed on to all other files loaded via the querystring. e.g: home.swf?id=26-09-2006 data.xml?id=26-09-2006 video1.flv?id=26-09-2006 However I have just realised that if I do this to the FLV files in the site, it prevents them from playing. Is this a bug or is this something that you would expect to happen? Or is there in fact some FLV feature that allows you to use the querystring for some purpose? I had always been under the impression that any static web file would be completely unnaffected by the presence of a querystring. At this point my problem has been fixed, but I'm still curious as to your thoughts.
