Ok, I guess my message was too extensive. Let me simplify it: By taking this article as a base: http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=546 (Quick and Dirty FLV Player, by Keith Peters)
1) Is there a way to programmatically create these video instances without the need to put an actual instance on the stage through the IDE? 2) Is there a way to create this video object (the one we have to put on the stage) purely through ActionScript ? Or do we really need to have this object present in the library (either put via IDE or swfmill) ? I guess one possible solution would be to create a MovieClip with this video object instance and then attach it programmatically via AS. What do you think ? Thanks, Marcelo.
