Ok, Flash 7 is great and all . Ok it's really great. But my web site only
requires users to have the Flash 6 player. All the streaming video examples
and tutorials I'm seeing for the Flash Comm Server on the Macromedia site use
the NetConnection class and therefore only work in Flash 7. How do I stream an
FLV (or a swf with embeded video) from the Flash Comm Server to Flash 6 users?
And can it be done dynamically without using the NetConnection class?

The NetConnection class _is_ supported in the Flash 6 player. FCS came out when
the Flash 6 player was the release player and therefore the NetConnection
object is supported in FP6. All of the examples in the docs and MM's DevNet
site which use the NetConnection class will work. You can't do progressive
download in the Flash 6 player as you can in the Flash 7 player, but since
you're talking about streaming from FCS, that's not an issue.

The docs that come with FCS show some good, basic examples of streaming using
AS1 and were written when FP6 was the standards. Most of the DevNet articles
written before September 2004 also use AS1 as well.

Thanks! I guess I didn't read the Flash help files closely enough. I think I
get it now. NetConnection is supported for progressive download on a regular
web server in Flash 7. But it's supported for true streaming from the Flash
Comm Server in Flash 6. That's good news for me. Thanks for the help.
