Re: [flexcoders] Load a large swf (13MB)
That article is incorrect and what JD says, holds; as each frame is downloaded, you can view it, thus it's progressive download. - Original Message - From: Clint Modien To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Load a large swf (13MB) found the answer... has to be an flv... the 13MB swf would have to completely download before it would start playing...http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/video_primer_03.html On 7/7/05, John Dowdell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Clint Modien wrote:> Can I start playing the movie before it's loaded?The question is actually harder to answer than it might seem, becauseSWF has added more capabilities and content types since it started.
