Hi, 1. Is it possible to force the flash player to just load both videos into main memory (or PageFile) at start up? You can set the buffer-time to a large number, I suggest don't keep it too large. Should work fine on the cost of more memory consumption... Read more about bufferTime in

Hello all, Long post in a nutshell: I'm looking for a way to speed up seeking time when playing FLVs. Long post: I'm currently working on a project that displays two flv-files at the same time (playback is synchronized). Performance when seeking forward is just about acceptable (though not
