Question

Flash presentation

Hi

I'm making another flash presentation. The reason i'm using AS3 is because i'm using flashEff for text effects. Last time I struggled with my project for a long time. Navigating from one slide to another was easy, but calling things on command inside the slide was difficult for me to achieve. But finally i got it working so that with the arrow keys I navigated from slide-to-slide and with the mouse click i opened the information inside the slide.

This time it's much more easier, I have to make the presentation run freely - automatically with no commands. But there's jet another problem. This time I have to play a video inside a slide in the presentation. I have come to an understanding that I can't just import the video, otherwise it would make the presentation to large, but I have to stream it from a folder?
Could someone point out a tutorial or give some hints as how is it the most right way to do it. I don't want it to collapse in the middle of the presentation.

Sry for my english:)

Best regards

Erki

Fortunately video is pretty easy in flash there are 3 ways that I know of  1 involves building the player through actionscript.  The other two involve using the flvplayback component.  The easiest way of all is probably just go to File then import then import video it will run a wizard which will convert your video to FLV format if it isn't already in FLV then allow you to choose a skin and dumps the complete video in a folder.  The folder will have your original FLV, a swf skin file, a swf that's a wrapper for the flv an html that's used to embed the swf wrapper, and a javascript file.  If you find this hard to follow just get a video, run the wizzard and it will start to make sense.

The other really easy way to do video is to open the components window, drag the flvplayback component to the stage, open the Component Inspector, the enter the source to you video and any other parameters you might want.

btw.  Where do I buy "crappy solution"?  I've been looking all over for it.

If someone is interested in my crappy solution as how i made my previous presentation feel free to ask, and if there's anyone out there that could tell me how to do it better it would be awesome.
