Loading movies in the background

1

Hey folks, I have searched the forums to an answer to this question but havent found what I am looking for. Several photography sites out there will let you view one photo at a time AS THEY LOAD…meaning, the other photos are clearly loading while you are able to view the ones that have already loaded. This is a sensible alternative to just preloading one HUGE movie and making people wait.

Examples of this done well seem to be:

I know how to preload one big movie with 20 photographs and then letting people scroll through once that huge file is downloaded but the wait is just too long.

How can I load movies (or photos in this case) sequentially, making each one viewable as they come down?

Thanks people, I stayed up all night trying to figure this out…very tired.

A good idea is to insert in your movie several preloaders…meaning that you make a preloader for your intro,index whatever… Then visitor won’t have to wait until ALL the movie is downloaded.He/she will be able to see your movie while the pics are downloaded in the background.Then you put a preloader for every pic… :goatee:

I think dimitris has right. Each picture on the first website has it’s own preloader and one can look at the first picture until the second is loaded and so on.
