Website developers. Flash question.
Hi chaps
I'm very new to flash so please bear with me if I'm not asking the question in the most direct logical manner.
Anyway, here goes.
With a flash video player is it possible to delay/adjust the point of when the video starts to play based on how much of the video has streamed/downloaded?
What I am trying to acheive is to allow at least 50% of the whole video to download prior to the video starting in an attempt to allow people with slower internet connections not to be blighted with jerko-stutter-vision.
I hope you experts out there can work out what I'm asking.
Also if it is possible any chance you could let me know in simpleton forms how to go about the task at hand?
Thanks guys
Brett

The best thing to do is use a templaet with all the scripts of a loading screen configured. Not sure if I have something but I'll check when I'll get hoem and send you one.

You need to label a frame 50% into the movie, such as "Halfway".
On your initial movie load, just add some actionscript that says If Frame Loaded ("Halfway") Then Play or Go to and Play (Frame 2). This will stop the Flash player from running until the frame is loaded.
Thats the gist of it, depends how the movie is setup though.
