video component delay problem

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have to publish an interactiv presentation with some flv videos, and a menu that trigger them.

I'm not a scripter, so I'm using (Flash CS6) AS2 buttons that launch skinned video components FLVPlayback.

It doesn't work fine: when I click on these buttons, the videos don't start immediately: I can see a background blink between a video (a little delay, starting playing the video) and the next one, once clicked.

How can I solve this? (wrong method? Wrong software?)

Thank you very much!

you have to preload (start it playing, pause it, wait until loading is complete) it to avoid the need for buffering.  even then you may need to detect when the previous video is about to end and then start the next video.

Thank you!

I've tried to preload the video, but this annoyng blinking delay (before starting playng the external flv) is still there.

Also launching it offline, on my hd!

Maybe it's a FLVPlayback bug

you also fade out the previous and fade in the next to mitigate the problem.

I can't do that!

Every last frame of a video is the same of the first of the next one! I should have no blinking white backgrounds along the presentation.

No way to make video presentations this way
