I am a Flex/AS3 coder who is puzzled about basic Flash

Question

Hi there,
I am a FLEX coder with 6 months experience by way of Flex
Builder. Coding business apps in AS3 is no big deal to me. The
thing is, is that I am on a new project that uses Flash... and I am
confused so I am looking for a bit of help.
Others on this project have created FLV movies - that is, the
ones like you see on Youtube. They created them by shooting the
content with a digital video camera and encoding it into FLV. What
I need to do add some logic to the movie, such as detecting where
in the movie it has been played to.
Do I need to create a new Flash program to load that movie?
If so, how do I load it? Would I need to create a new interface to
run that movie in, or can I just use the existing movie as the
interface?
I understand that if a movie has "labels" at particular
points in time, I can add an eventHandler to respond to the labels
being triggered. But can I add "labels" to an existing movie?
Would I compile my Flash program with mxmlc, like I do in
Flex?

Answer 1

just in case you never got an flv file working in
flash......here's some code.....jus copy and paste on the first
frame of the main timeline....ie....open new fla.....select first
frame.....press F9...(shortcut for actions panel) paste this code:
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
// pass null object cus you're not connecting to a
server.....if you are....put in address
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
video.attachNetStream(stream);
stream.play("smoke.flv");
//the end
Change that smoke.flv....to whatever file thats on your
computer and save file as whatever you call it....and run file...
if you dont know how to run.......just hit (ctrl+enter)
........ewww....its sleepy time for me.....
...any other questions....while i'm on :D
