To get the FLV Video dimension

no, that's not I wanted.

I need to find the actual width and height of the video, i will load videos into the player dynamically...

Howdy...  :)

Check on the metadata...  It normally contains the dimension information but not all FLV file contains that data though...

Thanks for your reply, I tried the following. But it is only working when i set the content path to some video on the internet, (i.e it gives me the width and height if i set a fully quailified URL like http://mysite.com/sample.flv) but it doesn't return anything if i set something like  c:\samplevideo.flv

Here is the code i tried with...

var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var nStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
my_video.attachVideo(nStream);
nStream.setBufferTime(0);
nStream.play("http:\\www.video.com\video\video.flv    \\ this is working
nStream.play("d:\test.flv");  \\ this is not working
nStream.onMetaData = function(myMeta) {
     trace("FLV Width: "+myMeta.width);
     trace("FLV Height: "+myMeta.height);
     my_video.width = myMeta.width;
     my_video.height = myMeta.h
};

If you have created the FLV using Flash then for sure Flash does not store height/width meta data

Nope, i usually create the flvs using FFMPEG

Actually I am trying to achive a flv player (desktop application), that will be using the physical path (i think you know this)

Do i need to download both the dos and GUI version of the application, what exactly this will do?

ok, i will give it a try

i think there must be a way in Flash 8 to do this?
