Hi,
This week, I’m trying to build my online portfolio. I want to include some of the video-projects I’ve made. I succeeded in creating a normal, external .swf pre-loader (with percentage bar etc.) but what I want is this:
When my external .avi or .mov (in a .swf?) is partially pre-loaded I want it to start playing already… A kind of streaming, pre-loader. Exactly like the movie pre-loader used in the website of
[www.hi-res.net](http://www.hi-res.net) (check latest work\>MTV:New\>video’s)!
I really hope that anyone can help me, I already searched tutorial-databases for days…
Yannick

Welcome to the forums =) It depends on how you’ve set up your preloader. The most common preloader should be able to do it with this:
[AS]
//preloader code…
if(bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total/3){
holder.gotoAndPlay(1)
}
[/AS]
