loading a video file in flashplayer

[Maskedjellybean]

How can I have a swf file load a video file inside the flash player and play it? The video file right now is wmv, but it could be quicktime or anything. Also, what is a flv file? Would that help me some how? I do have a server that the video could be streamed from.

Please help, thank you.

If your using Flash 8 this should help:

thanks. It looks like what I want is an external progressive download of a flv... But what would be the actionscript for that?

vid_btn.onRelease = function() {
	var myVideo_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
	myVideo_nc.connect(null);
	var newStream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(myVideo_nc);
	videoHolder_video.attachVideo(newStream_ns);
	newStream_ns.play("your.flv");
};

I also attached a Flash 8 .fla:
