No it's not OK ;) When a company has different file formats then it's really sad and unfortunate to have to rely on third party tools for conversion between those formats - if for no other reason then integration and overall better experience.
My laymen understanding is that FLV is a streamable video format and like you said SWF is like an exe. Well actually it's more like Java byte code in that it is a stream of byte code that is only understandable by the Flash Player. If you look back through some of the responses or maybe they are on my other post, you will see that at least one person on this forum has suggested using SnagIt or some other screen capturing tools. No, indeed it is not OK if folks who are evidently at least dabbling with Flex and there they are suggesting third party screen capture tools. Not only is it not OK but it is quite sad that Adobe, who is smack deep in this space, has left even one developer thinking of resorting to such band aids. I for one am disgusted by it and only because they know the best how to "play" a SWF file and how to capture the video "stream" that comes out of it. Enough said on my part. P.S. However, your reply is not only OK but it's also much appreciated as well. --- In [email protected], "Fotis Chatzinikos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > flex and video are different things... > > Flex can play video easily, the same applies to Silverlight. > > Silverlight is not video , it can play video... > > Trying to convert an swf to flv is similar to converting an exe to flv > > ok?
