FPCSetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler <font color = "red">[deprecated]</font>

You can intercept and provide content of external resource a flash movie are loading. For instance, Flash Video. To play Flash Video from memory you should create flash movie that loads Flash Video from "private" URL (e.g., "http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv"). Flash Movie uses the following code to load Flash Video (put this in under a button in your Swf Flash Movie):

[ ActionScript ]

var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
my_video.attachVideo(netStream);
netStream.setBufferTime(0);
netStream.play("http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv");

When Flash tries to load Flash Video from http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv, FlashPlayerControl provides content of FLV. Use function FPCSetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler to set handle the external resources and provide them to Flash. See the code:

[ C++ ]

HRESULT WINAPI GlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(LPCSTR lpszURL, IStream** ppStream);
...
FPCSetGlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(&GlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler);
...
HRESULT WINAPI GlobalOnLoadExternalResourceHandler(LPCSTR lpszURL, IStream** ppStream)
{
   HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;

   if (0 == lstrcmpiA(lpszURL, "http://FLV/FlashVideo.flv"))
   {
      // Create stream
      IStream* pMemStream = NULL;
      CreateStreamOnHGlobal(NULL, TRUE, &pMemStream);

      // Save flash video to the stream from the resource
      HMODULE hModule = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
      HRSRC hResInfo = FindResource(hModule, _T("EMBEDDED_FLV"), _T("FLV"));
      HGLOBAL hResData = LoadResource(hModule, hResInfo);
      LPCVOID lpData = LockResource(hResData);
      DWORD dwSize = SizeofResource(hModule, hResInfo);

      ULONG nWritten;
      pMemStream->Write(lpData, dwSize, &nWritten);

      // Seek stream position to the begin
      LARGE_INTEGER liZero = { 0 };
      ULARGE_INTEGER ulNewPosition;
      pMemStream->Seek(liZero, STREAM_SEEK_SET, &ulNewPosition);

      *ppStream = pMemStream;
      hr = S_OK;
   }

   return hr;
}
