The website's SWF file is hosted at https://www.aperturescience.com/aperturescience.swf

Expected behavior
The SWF's video should play normally.

This SWF uses an external video file. Ruffle doesn't support loading external video/audio/image assets yet.
Hello guys. I have SWF which uses some FLV video files. As I understand support for FLV is not added yet. And as I understand, we can't use any video files. Is it correct? In my case, I have the following error:

Video has been implemented- however, this seems to need something else to work, as it currently just shows a single frame. Stub warning: Stub: Stream data processing (name: onXMPData)
As I mentioned in https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/pull/12091#issuecomment-1674177630:
The video shows only the first frame, and more strangely, the audio plays but periodically glitches out. Might there be some script data interleaved with the audio that Ruffle is erroneously trying to play back?
This SWF streams two FLV files: https://www.aperturescience.com/wcc_holiday10_v03.flv https://www.aperturescience.com/wcc_holiday10_v03_egg.flv
They each have a VP6 video in them, which is well supported.
And I can confirm that they are streamed and decoded correctly - they just aren't visible on the stage for some reason!
Ah, _level0.cam1._videoHolder has its visibility turned off (or rather, not turned on) for some reason. Flipping it on manually does show the video playing. Although, at a weird position/size/aspect ratio:
