Tell me about the role of flash player in rtmp streaming video on demand...
RTMP and Flash are both made by Adobe.
Flash Player is a browser plugin to run (inside a webpage) applications made with Adobe's own AS3 programming language. It's like an operating system that runs (or "plays") Flash applications.
RTMP is a system of sending live audio/video. It can be used for broadcasting online radio streams, on-demand or live video streams (eg: sports, movies, etc).
On the web, RTMP is only decoded through Flash Plugin, so you must make (or find) a media-playback application coded in AS3. It will be compiled as .swf file and you embed this .swf within an html file by using the <embed> tag.
The Flash .swf application uses code to load the RTMP data and the Flash Player system will automatically decode that into live audio/video. Just like the browser decodes some .mp4 video when your code loads a file within a <video> tag.
