Hi,

Perhaps someone can help me with a little challenge.

I’m loading a FLV movie into a flash scene. Using a component, this works just fine…only now I need to make a preloader that starts the movie after preloading a percentage of it instead of waiting untill it downloaded the whole thing…

This seems to be no problem for player 8, but I need to be able to output to player 7. Any ideas?

Greetings,

Leoni
