Question
FLV Preloader for Streaming Server (k)
I have a big video, 18 minutes long. I am going to be
delivering it via
a Streaming server(rtmp://...).
I can get the video into my FLA file using File Import Video and
selecting the second choice (Already deployed...) and entering the URL
of the video.
Applied stock controls.
I changed the buffer time to 10 seconds. If I go to the page, the bar at
the bottom will move with green stripes, but it never plays
automatically. You have to hit Pause and then Play to get it going.
But beyond that, the user has no idea what is going on.
I put in a MovieClip that says "Loading Video" it goes off when the
movie hits a CuePoint I set 1 second in.
Is there any kind of preloader I can put in that lets the user knows how
much they have to wait for the video?
I know Flash is capable of delivering long video, just don't know how to
get it rolling.
Been reading posts and trying everything I find without much luck.
