Hi! Just wondering if anyone ever found a solution to stop loading something that is currently loading in the Flash Player (an image, a sound, an XML file, etc.)?
I've heard and tried about loading a dummy (non-existent) file in place of the file being loaded to stop the load process. When I used it, it seemed to work but I've read it doesn't work in all OS/Browser combinations. I think there are issues with this on the Mac, in Safari and/or IE 5. Is that right? Does this method effectively stops a load in progress in all OS/Browser combinations? With this method, I noticed that if I halted a load in progress at say 75% by loading a dummy file in place of the one currently being loaded, and then restarted loading that file later on, the load starts at 75%. So where is this "partial" file being stored? Is it in memory? Is it in the browser cache (even if it's only partial)?
