How to free video memory ?

[_magestik]

Hey,

I'm making a simple presentation, lets say with 2 slides.

In each slide, i've embeded a video from an external link, lets say video1 and video2.

In slide 1 i have :

video1.seek(0);

video1.play();

In slide 2 i have :

video2.seek(0);

video2.play();

I use the keyboard to go back and forth the slides.

My problem is when i go back and forth several times between two slides, the memory used keeps increasing.

Any solution ?

Thank you.

i've embeded a video from an external link

Is the video embedded or external? Can`t be both.

Anyway, it depends on what you use to show your videos:

if you have  flvPlaybackComponent instead of having two players use only one and set the source-property via Actionscript

My bad, external.

I have a flvPlaybackComponent.

If by slides you mean "scenes", don`t use scenes, they are redundant/pointless in actioscript 3

Anything you can do with scenes, you can do with frames better.

In this case by using scenes you prevent yourself from being able to use one videoplayerinstance in your whole movie.

I think i'm using frames, i'm still a newbie with flash

How do i set the source-propoerty via ActionScript ?

show a screenshot of your stage with both "slides" visible (you can upload images with the camera button of this editor)

Here, my frames are black and the video is also black before it plays, so you wont see anything. Hope that helps.

if this picture shows what I suppose(12 instances of a flvplayback component) :

you dont need to use the same component multiple times to show multiple videos:

instead have one Layer where you put one FLVComponent that stretches over all 12 frames and set the sourceporperty of this component with actionscript.

so say your compoennt on stage is named "videoplayer".

in frame 1 yous have this:

videoplayer.source = "video1.flv"

videoplayer.seek(0);

videoplayer.play();

in frame 2 you write:

videoplayer.source = "video2.flv"

videoplayer.seek(0);

videoplayer.play();

etc.

I see. I'll try a couple of things.

Using your method when you change the source, it won't add ressources i suppose ? will it remove video1.flv ?

I have a lot to learn

Thank you for your help.
