Thank you Sir,
This is what I have been trying to get at. I will try it.
> Maybe the data rate of your video is too high to 'stream' over your web
> connection (I'm assuming you mean an HTTP "fast start" progressive
> download rather than RTSP streaming). If it is (and if you're on a
> modem, anything much above 4 Kbytes/sec overall is too high) then the
> video will download for quite some time before playing. You may have to
> also start the video explicitly with Lingo in a frame script
> (sprite(#).movieRate = 1), but that will only work if enough of the
> video has downloaded (in relation to its overall data rate) to begin
> playing. You can't start playing video frames that aren't there yet, and
> you can't reliably control them with Lingo if they aren't there yet
> either. One thing to try is to make a short (1-2 seconds) Flash movie,
> exported as a QuickTime movie, that is just black frames at the
> dimensions of your video. Paste this onto the start of your video and
> save it that way. When you start this video in a Shockwave movie, the
> low data rate Flash section will load very fast, along with enough data
> about the movie to allow you to target things like movieRate, movieTime,
> and duration with Lingo. After that, its all up to the match between
> your overall data rate and the speed of your connection.

> MPEG-1 to 'stream' over a modem connection.
