Play FLV from ByteArray in Flash Player

Question

I have a flash video file (FLV) stored in the ByteArray object and would like to play this video. Is there any way to achieve it? Maybe using Alchemy?

Thank you!

I will not ask Why ByteArray? The answer for your question is YES, but final result will work slow - slower when video is bigger and codec complex. You must read frames and put them as BitmapData in to Bitmap and write own player. The best way is to use Alchemy - then it works faster but also slow :) You can also use Haxe.

Sound in very similar way. The best point to start is adobe labs. At the end - remember that flv is decoded using hardware - your code will use only processor. Now ask yourself if really you need this feature?
