Hi is it possible to play an embedded f4v file in flash?
Yes, there's a wizard for adding a video to a swf you find it under File|Import|Import Video.... But it's not really recomendable. You often get out of sync video/audio. Plus the swf file will be huge.
You can pull the file with swfObject's parameter. It also depends on what type of player you're using.
Sorry, but the answer is a big fat no. I know, I know – it's awful.
You cannot feed embedded movie or aac data into the Flash Player's "native" media player. It can only play these files from a NetStream. You can play embeeded mp3s (and some other lossless formats) but you want video, I see.
I'ma see if I can do some hijacking and let you know if I succeed, but I'm not hopeful.
From this article about this stunningly bizzare oversight...
flash.media.Video requires a flash.net.NetStream. This means you cannot load embedded videos..."
