Stream Flash format -- FLV

Before Flash MX, the video files in flash must be imported into a bitmap frame by frame. As a result, the file is huge and its application scope is limited.
With the launch of Flash MX, Macromedia developed its own stream video format-FLV. This format is compressed by Sorenson. Algorithm . Sorenson also provides algorithms for mov format.
The FLV format not only allows you to easily import hundreds of frames into flash, but also allows you to stream videos from the flash COM server using the rtmp protocol.

Currently, there are two types of FLV format conversion software on the market. Http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html? Qt = FLV & Tg = dl-2001
Next, let's look at two methods for playing FLV:
1. Embedded playback:
This method is relatively simple. Click Import under the file option and select the file you want. You will feel that the import speed is very fast.
2. Stream playback:
A) First, install the flashcom server. After the installation is complete, a directory named Flash Communication Server MX is generated. Next, you need to create your own application folder under this directory: C: \ Program Files \ Macromedia \ Flash Communication Server MX \ flashcom \ applications. for example, our directory is called eLearning. the following step is very important. We put the FLV file into this directory, C: \ Program Files \ Macromedia \ Flash Communication Server MX \ flashcom \ applications \ eLearning \ streams \ _ definst _. okay. In this way, we have completed the first step.
B) Next, start coding and making Flash files. Press F11 to open the library panel. On the top right menu, select new video. Drag the object to the stage. Take an Instance name "myvideo ". On the first frame, add the following Code .
# Include "netdebug. as "Stop (); NC = new netconnection (); NC. connect ("rtmp:/eLearning"); newstream = new netstream (NC); myvideo. attachvideo (newstream); newstream. play ("FLV file"); All right! In this way, you can stream your video files!
