I'm curious to figure out if it is possible to edit an .flv file from within vb.net? More specifically, I have a flash file (flv) that I want to embed into a project of mine and I have some actionscript in the flv file that I would like to have the end user be able to manipulate using a form and output a .swf file from those choices. Is that possible with vb.net?
Anything is possible with VB.NET. You could even edit the machine code contained in an executable if you wanted. Of course, if you don't know the exact binary format of the executable and replace it with something meaningful then the new file simply won't run. The same goes for an FLV file. If you understand the format and can write VB code to parse it and write something meaningful back then you can do what you want.
Generally, for things like this a small number of people will write components to specifically read and write files of a particular format and then everyone else includes one of those components into their applications. You could see if such a component exists for FLV files that can be incorporated into a .NET app.
Thanks for the tip jmcilhinney! You wouldn't happen to know what I'd search for when looking for something like that would you? Sorry but I'm pretty new to coding so I'm learning as I go.

It'd likely take a bit of trial and error. Things like flv programming component would be a place to start.
Thanks again jmcilhinney, it's actually an fla file after I looked at it but I can't find information on how to accomplish it. I will keep searching Google.

Someone else may be able to help with something more specific but there's certainly no native Flash support in the .NET Farmework. Silverlight? Yes. Flash? Microsoft says "no".
Silverlight is Microsoft?
