    How is this being done? What technologies are involved?

    Hi there - I'm new to flash video and I'm looking around at a few sites to get a feel of how things are put together - I'm looking at this link - the The Cornwallis School Provides Exciting New Ways to Learn link. Just trying to figure out how this was put together, what was involved etc.

    thanks

    I have a daughter named Maya; If I have son, should I name him Max?

    Nothing fancy: Just a preloader, FLV video, and some meticulous design work!

    serving the video?

    Any views on how the video is being served? Again I am new to this. I assume through Macromedias streaming server? But this is a MS site - so is there any other way of doing this?

    cheers

    Again: Nothing fancy. The .FLV video format inherently streams, even if it is saved as a (local) file. If you wanted to dynamically stream different content, you can do that in the code on the front-end without having to worry about proprietary host server snafus.

    You need to familiarize yourself with the Flash MX 2004 Media Components. I reccomend the following tutorial for you:

    Enjoy!
