If I write data to the stream byte by byte, not write the whole file at oce, then can the stream be played by Flashplayerctrol normally, just like common Flashplayer plays a swf file on the internet?

thank you !

We are planning to include this feature in the one of future releases but current implementation of the component doesn't allow to use streams as you wrote. The whole stream is saved in the internal storage before passing to the flash.

oh, :(

then can you find some relatively good solution for me?

I want to play Flash movie in my program, and the movies are stored on internet, so I hope that it can begin to play as soon as posible, not after all the movie downloaded.

If it is not possible to download and play a movie byte by byte , is it possible to divide the whole file into a few parts . when the first part has been downloaded, it begin to play, at the same time download next part, and so on?

If a movie is stored on the internet, using a movie property is preferably.

It's impossible with current version of the component.

But my aim is to show swf stored on internet?and avoid temporary file in order to protect the copyright of my swf.

And, my swf files are not very short, so I hope to keep the feature of streaming. Could you kindly help to write some code to solve the problem, intstead of only using your component? if you would like to do it, you can advise me how much extra charge you want to.

Or, if I buy your component with source code, is it comparetively easy to modify your code to make the internal stream shared by the flash player to play and another thread to write data into it?

thank you once again! The feature of streaming is very important for me!
