Somewhat newby to Flash.
I am building a Flash movie that I would like to link 24 QuickTime movies to show up within the Flash movie. Obviously loading all those would be a drag for the user. Is it possible to link them to show up on demand rather than loading all 24 of them with the movie? If so, how would you do that. If not, what’s the next best thing? :q:
In your situation I don’t think you can avoid preloading or loading period since they can’t just appear right away. What I would probably do is have each quicktime sit inside a swf file of its own and have them load into the main swf file when the user clicks a certain button(s). This will give the user a choice of which quicktime he/she wants to view and instead of waiting for all of them to load, the viewer only waits for the ones they chose. Here is a link to a tutorial that will show you how to use the loadmovie action to load your external swfs.
Electrongeek, thanks for the help. This may be what I’m looking for. I’ve also thought of placing the flash navigation into an html document and then using an iframe to bring up the quicktime movies on their own page. Not sure which would be better in the end. The movies are between 100kb - 250kb.
Thanks again, Tex
Well it all depends on what you want though, do you want it to be a full flash site or do you want it to be a html/flash hybrid which is what you’ve thought of doing with the iframes. Either method would be effective.
I will try both. Probably go with total flash site as it nixes the dredded compatability issues.
