Can you add ActionScript or other code to an flv

I'm curious if it's possible for an flv file to contain code like ActionScript or if it can only contain the audio/video data for the video.

I'm specifically asking related to the security of allowing an FLV file to be uploaded a site.

Edit: assume that the contents have been validated to be a real "flv" - the question is whether the format natively supports code inside of the flv.

Solution

  • the question is whether the format natively supports code inside of the flv.

    To that question, the answer is no. For further security discussions, see the other answers.
