This is a question about implementing a Flash plugin for FlowPlayer, allowing viewing of an MJPEG stream within the content area of the video widget.

I'm tasked with designing and implementing an MJPEG-viewing plugin for flowplayer. If you have the requisite knowledge to answer these four questions, I'll be extremely grateful for any help:

Question #1: - am I correct that mjpeg streams are NOT supported out of the box by flowplayer?

Question #2: - am I correct that the correct design of an MJPEG flash plugin for flowplayer should be to display it as a content plugin, rather than to try to place the stream as a video clip in the playlist? Is it correct MJPEG playback should be handled basically as a flash animation rendered on the flowplayer canvas, like the HelloWorld or audiovisual plugins?

Question #3: - should the plugin class extend flash.display.Sprite, org.flowplayer.AbstractSprite, or something else?

Question #4: - should the plugin class implement org.flowplayer.model.Plugin or something else?

Thank you so much for any help.
