Whereas it is possible to get the video from a QuickTime container, it is not possible to get a FLV from a SWF, making it impossible to directly control the video. The video element exists to contain container formats (of which Flash is not one, though FLV is), and nothing else. Inserting a Flash file into a video element is similar to inserting an HTML file that happens to have a link to video: sure, it links to a video, but it does a billion other things too ? it isn't in itself the video. -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
