Grrr.


Look, you cannot play an MPEG without a video player, right? Well you
cannot play FLV without a video player either. Flash is not a video
player - it's a virtual machine for running applications written in
actionscript. While a video play can be written in Flash (it supports
the codecs) it doesn't have a player right there read for you to use. No
different than any other player.

What you need in life is a less dismissive attitude.
