group,
i am currently trying to get to grips with flv playback with flash 8. i have come across a number of methods for flv playback within flash 8 and am curious to know the difference between methods and ultimately if there is such a difference discover which is best. I have had a few issues with some methods and was wondering if it was because that method sucks.
In particular i am looking for the best method for allowing custom skinning of the player with the ability to have a player somewhere on stage without it being stapled to the darn flv file.
METHOD1:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("testmovie.flv");
METHOD2:
import mx.video.*;
this.attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk", 10, {_width:360,_height:240,x:0, y:0});
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "SteelExternalAll.swf"
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "testmovie.flv";
my_FLVPlybk.autoSize=true;
my_FLVPlybk.autoPlay=false;
what are the differences??
any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time and expertises,
