@Gunnerjnr: You totally CAN grab a video file from a URL, save it local and play it in your app using Tier 1. No problem. This is not the same as streaming, but could be what you need. Take a look at the HTTP examples. You can grab any file you like from a URL (even SSL encrypted, or from a password protected folder) and once saved locally, do what you want with it just like any other file... play a video file, create a sprite from an image file, display text from a text file, populate a bunch of variables from some JSON etc. Tier 1 is very capable at communicating with the interwebs once you get the hang of it (you can even set custom headers now!).
