flv playback is not straightforward.  You'll need the Adobe flv component.
Would it not be better to take advantage of some of the Open source
players out there, and simply embed them?

I was referring to swf combination with swfcombine.

Very unteresting.  For which bit do you wish to use it?

Sorry, I didn't look at it.  You'll have to ask Iosef what he did.

If you want to have a play with some musings on sound playback
with swfc, here you go,

   http://www.nordberg.me.uk/swfc_samples/

A tad old now, but the as2/swf/mp3 files are there for you to
experiment with.

Practice? ;o)   Take a look at the examples mentioned above.  I've
loaded the sounds in several ways.  loadSound is probably better
choice, since you can then choose to stream.

If you can do sound, you can do video.   Streaming an swf or two
inside another is pretty straightforward.

Let us know how you get on.
