Hi Ravi,

        Yes, you are right now in my question, what i am trying to do is to
serve a ".swf" file from a remote web server to the media player with
the wrapper playlists feature while getting the swf from an asp page,
but as you said i have noticied that the only formats than i can stream
with that wrapper lists are .wmv files and .jpg ( never tried with .mp3
), not flash movies in any way.

        Does MS have in mind to add that feature in a near future to the server
? it will be very helpfull to content providers to include interactive
flash ads dinamically into the player when a video file is requested.

        Thanks for all the info and effort Ravi, i appreciate it.

        Best Regards
