What everybody does is embedding a video **player** in SWF that loads an external file in a real video format (MP4, FLV…). Now the question is, can a SWF file embedded inside an ePub using your instructions load resources (JPEG, MP4, etc) that reside inside the OPS? (in ADE, if anything). Because the ideal way of embedding video that worked in ADE, iPhone et al, and web based readers, would be, just like in the web, to use an embedding method such as <a href="http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody" rel="nofollow">Video for Everybody</a>, which: 1. Does not need Javascript ✓ 2. Works if either Flash or the HTML5 tag are supported ✓ But I cannot get the damn SWF to load external resources residing in the OPS and having been properly declared in content.opf (unless I am doing something wrong, which I hope).
