You can preload FLVs with the NetStream and even see how big the FLV file is as long as you've encoded it properly so that it has MetaData. I know that if you do your compression in Sorenson Squeeze it'll inject the MetaData for you, and I think most other tools do the same automatically.
Check out the PreloadAssetManager class which will handle all the preloading for you including reporting the percent loaded: http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/PreloadAssetManager Jack -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 12:56:36 +1000 From: Stephen Ford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Flashcoders] Video delivery process ... To: "flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi,How do I preload video when the target player is 7?.The delivery technique I'm using is progressive download.Should I be using a proxy SWF to load an external FLV (because the Video class in Flash doesn't have anyway of polling the size of an external FLV, or how much of that FLV is loaded - unless I'm missing something).Thanks. ********************** _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
