Okay, I have the program Marcomedia 8 which is pretty cool, but is still very confusing for me. I don't know much on it at all and I was wondering how to create a flash player like sites such as Youtube, Google, Spikedhumor, and etc. Basicly I want a way where I can stream my videos on my site with my own player, that doesn't have the name Youtube, and such on it. Also, if I change it, the school will be able to view it since its not blocked. I want my flash player to have play, pause, volume, durations, etc. I tried playing around with Marcomedia Flash 8 and it has a option where you could stream your own videos, but I don't understand it. It said some things about a Flash Video Streaming Service, but the program they offer is $4,500! They have a demo that is everying in it, but its limited to 10 users and a time viewing it. I wanted a program that I have already such as marcomedia flash 8 to do it for me. I managed to get a example while trying to get a streaming video file at: http://www.frugoproductions.trap17.com/ArcticExternalAll.swf

If someone could give me a full tutorial on how to create a flash player as described, please direct me to an appropriate place or speak to me directly. Thanks!

Don't know much about it But here are a few sites that could help in setting up video streaming and what not.

Google word combination

I highly recommend this site since It gives a better breakdown on how to set it up

Also make sure to check out macromedia's website out they should have how-to's on setting up streaming video's .

Try using the built in media player component. Goto windows -> components. The one in there will do that.
