I've been playing around with Flash Video a lot lately for work and for some personal stuff. It's really forced me to finally learn Flash because Flash Video is so cool--the new On2 codec supports alpha transparency. Video along with the rest of the Flash Platform are just too compelling to pass up.

Macromedia has an excellent development center around Flash Video, but I've also found some nice tutorials by Googling Flash Video and ActionScript and ActionScript timecode. Here's a list of tutorials I've come across:

• Macromedia Flash Developer Center: Flash Video tutorials and learning guides
• Pixel2Life.com: Building a Flash Video Player tutorial 1
• Pixel2Life.com: Building a Flash Video Player tutorial 2
• GOTOANDLEARN.com: There are several excellent Flash Video tutorials on this web site by Lee Brimelow
• For my WordPress blog, I'm using Roel Meurders's WP-FLV plug-in and Jeroen Wijering's Flash Video player. They've provided me a simple way to add Flash video to my blog.

If you know of other online resources for learning more about Flash Video, please let me know!
