FLX is FileLoader extendable format created to assemble download lists, play lists, and presentations. Because a picture is worth a thousand words, we start from a few practical examples.

Assume we have a series of 9 large images (or web pages, audio/video clips, animations, movies, tutorials, diagrams, etc.) published somewhere on the web, and we want to see this series with the best posible viewing experience, while our (or publisher's) network conditions can fluctuate widely.

The options we have are:

Download list:
With Download list we can reliably download all 9 images, and manually view them one by one as each file is completed. Or we can wait until all 9 are completed, and than see them as a slide-show.

Play list:
If we have a very fast connection, then we can make slide-show directly from the web. For audio or video this means we have to have a connection speed higher than the bitrate at which the audio or video was encoded.

Presentation:
With Presentation, we can divide images into logical blocks, and start playback of each block after all files needed for the block are completed. This way we will see a smooth playback within each block, and delays can be only between the blocks. But because blocks are predefined and logicaly solid, our viewing experience will be much better than uncontrolled interruptions in random places. A PLAY block will start after the preceding DOWNLOAD block is completed, so the sequence of blocks is very important. Instead of having one huge DOWNLOAD block and one huge PLAY block, we have multiple small DOWNLOAD and PLAY blocks, to balance waiting time and viewing time. This balancing is totally up to author of the presentation.
