Answer 1

I am having almost same kind of problem. I want play a flv file from anyplace like youtube. Suppose flv file is 20MB and content duration is 5 min. I may need to start the video from 4min. In that case i don't want to download 0-4min video. Is it possible?

Note: i am using flash.net.NetStream attached to flash.media.Video.
