Problem preloading large SWF files

Hi All,

I am developing a CD presentation in Flash.
My flash presentation contains a lot of video files, and during some of the video files
I need actions to be performed during playback ( such as highlighting topics etc )
So I found that I had to embed my video files (mov) in swf files, and then load
the swf files into the main flash movie for playback.

I load the files using the loadClip function ( also tried the loadMovie function )

I need to preload these files as some of them are quite large ( 20 - 50 MB ).

The problem is that when I press "Load Movie" in the main flash movie,
the whole movie "freezes" or "hangs" until the whole movie is loaded, and it just plays
the preloader quickly ( Ive tried SO SO many preloaders with onEnterFrame actions, getBytesLoaded etc,
i ve tried having the preloader in one scene as the video and in the same, it just plays quickly thorugh the preloader)

Ive also tried the onLoadProgress function in movieClipLoader class, but it just dosent
do anything while the clip loades.

I've tried getting the loader object to work, but that too "freezes" when I try to load the movie,
and just skips right to 100% when the movie starts playing.

I;m starting to get lost for ideas here guys,
Anyone with some suggestions ??

Im am running Flash MX 2004 Pro

Cheers

you need to convert video to flash
visit http://www.geovid.com/Video%20to%20Flash%20Conversion

abd i've found another one good converter-FlashConv, i suppose, it's worthwhile using

And what's about Video To Flash Converter? I've tried it recently & fully satisfied with quality.





OOOPS, I don't notice it's old thread

Yeah
I think you are right because I prefer this program too!!
