I'd like to move few constants and functions my project is using

instead of always prepending Util. in front of the variables:

The PreloadAssetManager class simply preloads your assets into your
browser's cache; it is not meant to be used for playback or managing your
FLVs once they're preloaded. There's nothing special that you need to do in
order to access the preloaded FLVs - just call them as you normally would
either
Did you even google this? There are many tools that convert to FLV

Ben you're doing the right thing by having MyClass contain the clip you load

Seems like alot of hassle still to get vp6 encoding to work.
Furthermore the vp6 codec is no longer available from the ON2 website, so you
have to google it (and then grab it from some obscure

I found the sorenson vp6 encoding to be *very very* slow
If they both have the same duration, then you can use the percentage from
the SWF and apply it to the FLV...
var swfPercent:Number = swfmc._currentframe / swfmc._totalframes;

Hi,

There isn't much documentation from Adobe. I want to start the playback of a

But it's always playing from 0...
Maybe that's the case... I'll try to find out via other technologies

I'll post whatever I find here.

My guess is that you were just using the node itself instead of
getting nodeValue (basically using the toString() function). If
that's the case then toString probably gives the raw data in the file,
while using nodeValue does the full conversion of the data in the
