Hey all,
I’m in the process of including a 1 minute .flv into a flash doc. I don’t want to stream the video since i want the video to load almost instantly and do not have any room for streaming progress bars also i can’t use flash8 and to get video to stream in flash 6 is a pain.
What i have planned to do now was slice up the 1 minute video into 6/ 10sec clips. Put each clip in a seperate external movie which will range from 50-100kb each in kb’s. I want to preload the first video and then play it, then in the background load external video2 while external 1 is playing. then play external 2 at the end of external video1 and do the same for the rest of the videos. Its a lot more work but i think this way i can reduce load time and have the video play almost straight away.
What do you guys think? is there a easy way to do it and achieve the same results or should i continue with my concept above, and if i do what i have planned is there any code that you can direct me too that will load a movie / hide it and play when called for?
if you have read this far, thanks and if you can help, it would be much appreciated.
thanks ya’ll!
