I have created a recruitment site for our school. I have 6 videos somewhat
synched to animations and all seems to be running well except the videos
sometimes don't show up the first time around, even though the audio is
playing. I am not sure why this is but I suspect a loading problem. As dumb as
it sounds I haven't been able to figure out how to put in a pre-loading
signal....'loading, please relax' while the first part of the video loads.
Here is the link:

The videos are external FLVs.
The solution I need is for the videos to start at the beginning, not jump a
few seconds forward and then stand still while it loads a bit, and I need to
make sure they always show up. Easy enough, eh? I am using Flash Professional.
Thanks in advance,
Digi

Hi, I checked your website and videos. They are playing just perfetc.
Similarly i tried hosting some videos and use it as Prograssive Video which do
not requires a flash communication server. But some how my videos are not
getting shown. I ahve done all the things exactly like what is written in
flash documentation for video... but still it is not playing the video. If I
open the HTML file directly in browser then it shows the video fine. But if i
brows the HTML with HTTP:// then the video is not shown. Can you please guide
me on this.. or can tell me if you have any FLA to download as a tutorial.

Thanks Salio,
I called the Macromedia support and they gave me the following code to put in
my actionscript and it worked. You saw it after that fix was made.

on (release){
_root.myBackground.myMediaDisplay.setMedia("myVideo.flv");
_root.myBackground.myMediaDisplay.play();

Regarding your question. Obvious question. Have you posted the actual videos
to the remote site?
