thanks for the video. im using a mac. do you now the work around for this part of your tutorial?

On the parameters tab or the component inspector you can setup a whole bunch of parameters, you can play around with them a bit later if you never seen them, our important property is the the source.
Now there is a small error on the Flash Update, the component is ready for H264 files, doesn’t matter if they have a file extension of
.mov
.mp4
.f4v

the dialog box will never display any of the files above because it’s searching by default for .flv files, don’t fear this is not a big issue, just go to your filename on the dialog box and enter * (yes an asterisk) and voila you’ll see all the mp4′s and mov’s on that specific folder apart from all the other files you have in there like me:

Hi Don, you probably have to set your minimum player version to 9.0.115 or 9.0.124 as the option was only available from that flash player version, otherwise you can also follow this tutorial for setting it up. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/hd_video_flash_player.html

I’m using flash CS3 and I recently had to reinstall. Now applications I made using the FLV component and AS3 wont work. I am not able to play mp4 movie clips. When I test my movie I get a video error telling me, I need to use an FLV extension or that the video must be an FLV. Has anyone ever run across this? I have posted this on several forums, but thought I would ask here as well.

@Jamie It's most likely an ATOM issue. The ATOM stores all of the information about your video (like the length for example). In order to begin playback before the whole video downloads you need to access that ATOM. Typically video software puts the ATOM at the end of a video file because it isn't necessary for typical playback. For the Web you need that Atom at the front of your video file. The easiest way to do this is to open the MOV file in Quicktime Pro and resave it.

Thanks for the info, some other pages were saying that you had to write Action script. I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder. I have videos on the website in both Flash and Windows media.
