Question
Is this the right way to do this?
Hi,
I have created a website in flash which contains among other things, 12-13 FLVs in different sections. A section does not display more than one FLV. To display the FLVs, I have used the ‘Import Video’ feature and chosen the ‘progressive download from a webserver’ option as the website is being hosted on a webserver. When the import finishes, video playback component appears on the stage.
I have different sections of the website on different frames on stage (yeah I know not the ideal implementation strategy), so when a section with video is encountered, the website simply goes to that frame on the stage, and the video starts playing by it self. Similarly when the user switches to another section and consequently the website moves to another frame on stage, I assume that the previous video stops downloading by itself as the player is no more in that frame. Now the query is:
1) Is this the right way to do this or do I need to add a code explicitly telling the video to stop before it exits the frame?
2) Does the above mode of implementation have any potential problems?
2) Is loading video through ActionScript a better way to display FLVs in Flash compared to using the FLV component? If yes, how?
Many thanks,
