hello! @Nate: Thank you so much by the so clear explanation.. I don't have much experience with JSON and that's why I didn't get it if blip.tv was possible through flash.. but your last emails were great, and a great step to learn it.. About google, well, I really agree with you that it needs to be the first tool to everyone, since a lot of people are really lazy.. the point is that I didn't get the files and process to do in my case, and that's why I've posted in that forum.. thank you so much, Nate!
@Muzak: I saw that they require a login/pass, and now I know that can be possible use the api from flash, I'll dig for register and get a login info to me and check it better right now.. thanks Muzak!
