I have a movie with embedded video, it is about 2 mgs and I know flash has a natural streamer however - it seems to get stuck when I put it live. I want to load 400 frames then start the movie - so it gives it some buffer time.

I tried doing a frame based preloader (yes - I know this is depricated) by putting this code on frame 1 on the root with frame 3 being the first frame of the embedded video.

onEnterFrame = function () {

```
        if (_framesloaded&gt;=400) {

                    gotoAndPlay(3);

        } else {

                    gotoAndPlay(1);

        }

```

};

When I test it in simulate download, it goes till 400 frames – then plays (3) – however the video doesn’t play – just sits still. This is very strange, I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’d appreciate any help… thanks
