> If you run the whole thing from an executable > (projector), Thanks Marc - but sadly the remote files are the main ones, and they are run through an LMS - in webpages - there's no option to use an exe at all. The LMS kicks it off online in the webpage, and so it's these swf's in the webpage that need to call in the FLV's whenever they are needed. It's fairly common in eLearning - at least used to be - for video content to be supplied on asset CD's - thankfully this is dying out given flash video and greater bandwidth. Kinda defeats the object of online learning - when you require a CD to use it - I know, but they call the shots! Thanks anyway.
As mentioned, it does appear to work (remote swf > local FLV) but I'm just a little nervous about depending on it, given the super-tight (over-tight) restrictions flash now imposses. Maybe Mike Chambers could throw some light on it...(if you still read this list Mike...)
