But the video on the homepage to this website.... you have move the scrollbar at the bottom of the video and jump to certain spots in the video.

That's called scrubbing (or seeking if done programatically from JavaScript or whatever).

To scrub within the downloaded portion of the video file, your video file needs to have a metadata array. To scrub within the NOT downloaded portion of the video file, you need to have a streaming server.

Find (Google for it) and use one of these tools to post-process your video file. They create and inject the metadata array.

FLVMSI
flvtool2
flvtool++
yamdi

Once your video file has been post-processed, you will need to upload the video file to your server.

Thanks,

You can't use WAV files in the JW FLV media Player because they aren't supported by the Adobe Flash Player.

To seek ahead of the download in large MP3 files, you have to use a true streaming server that is using the RTMP protocol, like FMS, Red5, or Wowza.

May be you need a streaming server.
