“Why build yet another video player?” you ask. Pyro only integrates the core logic of playing video using flash. Yea, sure, you can build your own thing using NetStream/NetConnection, hey , that’s basically what Pyro does and that’s what professionnals do. They do it over and over again. So why waste time with all the same problems like size handling, duration, bandwidth detection, etc? It’s from this question that Pyro was born.
