I've never tried to play multiple flv's at one time, but it can be difficult enough just to clear an flv from the player.
Mind you, I haven't used the one I sent you.

SWFs load entirely before they start to play.
Trying to find a tutorial too..

SWFs load and they start playing right away, that is why you can use the ifFrameisLoaded command to see if a certain frame is loaded or check how many bites are loaded before letting the file play.

FLVs offer ridiculously quick downloads and awesome playback quality.
just use this a bit o code like this:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
vid.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("some.flv");(nicked from bit-101)
i just used an FLV in this media player:

nice link enjine. so flv's although bigger will playback quicker and have better quality over SWF??

hell yeah.
they use a totally different codec.
the flash 8 codec (i forget what its number is) will be even better.great things are on the way :)

yeah the alpha channel and chroma key support looks great

sorry what I meant here is will a swf made from a FLV have any benefits over using an FLV directly apart from file size??

ifFrameLoaded was deprecated
in Flash 5, it was already superceded by
the _framesLoaded property in Flash 4.Recommended in reality is only the use of getBytesLoaded which is much more accurate.
And of course since FlashMX2004 the MovieClipLoader Class.

(Aug 19 05, 07:36)no, you'd never want to make an swf from a flv. you will be using a way older codec (not to mention recompressing something that's already compressed).
