Asynch work: loading movie from file example...

[David Bovill]

Thanks - Andre. No it's not overkill - I need to use RevBrowser in any case,
and was using it for FLV's - so it is even simpler if I can unify them all
into a single object. My fear was stability as in general I have got more
crashes when using RevBrowser than with other code - but if you have found
it works well that's a very good sign. Has stability been a problem at all?
In development? If you leave the app running for days ie kiosk mode / memory
leaks?

Have you tried "rtsp:" url's for progressive download? Maybe its not needed
- but as even local files that are very large can take time to load before
playing, I guess this would be a use for a local rev based http server?


NB - I was thinking of a solution using "send" :)
