Re: FLASH: Streaming in Flash

[Karin Christensen]

Hi,

Flash is doing just what it should do.  Streaming means that it starts

playing at the beginning and loads as it plays.  You can't go to a

frame until it is loaded.  You can use a preloader so that the movie

doesn't start playing until essential elements are loaded.  If you

have alot of large jpegs make each one a separate swf and use load

movie techniques, either in levels or target a movie clip if you are

using V4.
