I’m working on a Flash movie project (AS2) that involves playing back five external 20sec-40sec FLVs at specific starting point frames within a overall storyline.
These are not to be controllable by the user, meaning they should simply play when they are supposed to as a seamless part of the movie.
I tried using the FLVPlayback component for each of the videos and I’ve tried creating a video object with the NetConnection ActionScript for each.
The trouble I’m having is that even though I’ve dropped the buffer time down to “0,” there’s a bit of a delay that occurs before the FLVs load and start streaming which is wreaking havoc with my timeline.
The storyline starts with a narrative piece and animation allowing ample time to preload the FLVs.
Is there anyway to preload them and give them specific frame starts in as2, or use the NetConnection ActionScript and add additional code that pauses the FLVs after loading the ns, then starts them at specific frames in the time line, or after X seconds of delay?
I’m fairly new to this and AS is like an alien language to me, so any help I can get would be appreciated.
