[2008] Playing flv over the internet?

I have failed at this so far, but attempting to play a flv file over the internet into a vb.net application.

Please help...

What I have done is added the COM thing for Shockwave (FlashObj)...

FlashObj.Movie = "Link to flv file"
FlashObj.Play()

However nothing plays. Flash only says "Movie Not Loaded"

Any ideas?

Anyone?

A flash movie can not play a flv file directly.
You need to create a flash video player and compile to swf first.

How would I pass params to it then?

You have your video player swf which receives the "contentPath" which is the flv location. The player swf can be added to other swf's/movies or used as only a player.

Ok i got that added... However I cannot pass variables to it...

Form1.player.Movie = "link-to-player.swf"
Form1.player.SetVariable("file", "link-to-file")
Form1.player.SetVariable("shownavigation", "true")
Form1.player.Play()

It loads the swf but not the movie

I dont see where you are setting or passing the "contentPath". contentPath is a Flash property of the location of the flv.

ContentPath is not allowed by the Shockwave COM.
