The Video class enables you to display live streaming video on the Stage without embedding it
in your SWF file. You capture the video by using
Player 7 and later, you can also use the Video class to play back Flash Video (FLV) files over
HTTP or from the local file system. For more information, see the NetConnection class and
NetStream class entries.
Flash Player 7 supports Flash video (FLV) encoded with the Sorenson Spark video codec.
Flash Player 8 supports Flash video (FLV) encoded with either the Sorenson or the On2 VP6
codec and also supports an alpha channel. The On2 VP6 video codec uses less bandwidth
than older technologies, and offers additional deblocking and deringing filters.
If your Flash content dynamically loads Flash video (using either progressive download or
Flash Communication Server), you can use On2 VP6 video without having to republish your
SWF for Flash Player 8, as long as users view your content through Flash Player 8. By
streaming or downloading On2 VP6 video into Flash SWF version 6 or 7, and playing the
content using Flash Player 8, you avoid having to recreate your SWF files for use with Flash
Player 8.

* If your Flash content dynamically loads Flash video (FLV), you can use On2 VP6 video
without having to republish your SWF for Flash Player 8, as long as users use Flash Player 8 to
view your content. Only Flash Player 8 supports both publish and playback of On2 VP6
video.
