Hello,
Here is another question regarding FLV files: I'm developing my AIR application using Dreamweaver. My app will need to play some local FLV files wich will be delivered together with the application (they are not online).
I'm using the built in feature of Dreamwever, wich creates a small SWF called "FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" when you insert an FLV in the page. If I preview the page in Firefox, everything works fine and the video is played, but if I preview it in AIR, there is just a blank box where the video should be.
All the files are in the site's root folder and are included in the "AIR application settings" (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf, Clear_Skin_2.swf, video.flv, index.html and application.xml).
I tryed importing the video in Flash (through progressive download) and then creating a small SWF wich would work only as a player but it didn't work either. The only way it worked was if I actually embedded the video in the SWF (so there is no external file), but then I have some audio synchronization problems and I loose quality...
So the problem seems to be that AIR doesn't allow the SWF file to access external files, even if they are in the same folder. Is this a bug or is there a workaroud?
Regards,
Manuel
