Hi, I stumbled on this thread and kind of need to do the same thing. I have an area where a number of persons should be walking around randomly.
I was thinking about something like this: * each person gets 4 flv's: (or 2 if i mirror them): turn right, walk right, turn left, walk left * all the flv's get preloaded * a player class plays 'walk right' for x times, then 'turn left', 'walk left' for y times (x & y are random), 'turn right' and repeat Is this feasible? Can I put 6 video objects on stage without any problems? And concerning the preloading, I was thinking about simply setting bufferTime to a very high value or is that naive? Is preloading all the flv's in the cache and keeping the bufferTime as normal a better option? What happens if the user has disabled his/her browser cache? Another option would be to load the walk cycles as still images, not sure what the better option, your opinion is appreciated:) regards JC On Wed, Apr 4, 2007 at 6:49 PM, Jack Doyle <[email protected]> wrote: > The PreloadAssetManager class simply preloads your assets into your > browser's cache; it is not meant to be used for playback or managing your > FLVs once they're preloaded.
