I'll do some research on the Flash Media Server. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll do some research on the Flash Media Server.

Be aware, however, that Flash Media Server is a relatively expensive product. If FMS was out of my project's budget, I would first experiment with a single video-only FLV and pair of MP3s (just to save on bandwidth) but would settle for two FLVs if synching became problematic. Denise,

We only need one video file, and the user can switch the language on the fly. The media files are stored locally on a kiosk, so bandwidth isn't an issue at this time. However, we are working toward going to a web delivery system and are experimenting with flv. Have you ever heard of a way to set up flv files this way? Or do you have to encode separate flv files for each language, or leave the audio out of the flv and play separate mp3s? Denise David,

The hyperlink still works. It's a PDF file that amounts to the "missing manual" for this class. Let me know if this helps you out. I mentioned it in an earlier blog entry here: <a href="http://www.quip.net/blog/2007/flash/actionscript-20/videoplayer-class-api" target="_blank">http://www.quip.net/blog/2007/flash/actionscript-20/videoplayer-class-api</a> john,

I try using it but the video will not load. Yet if I just do ns.play() etc and supply a value in the () video loads and plays... do u know why? I want to load it but not play it, in other words, i want to see the video there...but not have it play. The online documentation says this .load method will load but not play it. KInd regards, John Hi David,
