duration of flash movie

get duration with javascript without actionscript

[brainflicker]

Given a flash movie that I did not author and which is just a quicktime movie transcoded to flv/vp6, I need to get the duration via javascript.

- I would prefer to not have to modify the movie (i.e. add an actionscript)
- If that is not possible, given that I am a novice at flash authoring what is the easiest way to do it.

thanks

perhaps this old thread [webmasterworld.com] might have some hints to get you started.
