Dear SWFKIT Staff:

Surely SWFKit can play external flv files. The problem might be the relative path name. If you put the flv files under the same folder as the exe file, please call the Application.setBasePath() method in the "initialize" script. Similiarly, please set the proper base path if you put the flv files in another place.

The attached sample can play external flv files and mp3 files. It can be built by SWFKit Express.

Thank you very much for your reply but I use media display to view the flv file in flash movie.

I just write the url & video length in the disply component inspector & the movie starts in flash with the note that the tow files are in the same folder.

so, what script do I use to make this work in SWFKIT Projector

Thanks alot

There are 2 methods:

1. copy the flv file into the same folder as the output exe file. In the "initialize" script, adding the following code

Application.setBasePath();

2. Add the flv into the attachment list and add the following code into the "initialize" script(This is the recommended method)

var path = getAdditionalFile();
Application.setBasePath(path);

Just to let topcmm know - I've had no troubles with the example FLV.zip
Running on WinXP/Home and SWFKit 2.1.r2

Very nice.

Hi, I am also having a similar issue. The FLV.zip example you posted works fine. But I only require one particular .flv to play.

Is there a way I can have just one .flv file play within my projector automatically (without having browse for it)?

Currently, I have imported the .flv file into the Applications area of my Attatchments section. After I build and test the projector, the video file doesnt come up. It's strange, as everything works fine with the original SWF.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Not to worry, I found the solution.

It should be a swfkit pro 2 problem, you can solve it with the method in another post:
