flash actionscript:

flash will, by default, start playing when enough is loaded. it just won't
necessarily play smoothly. if you want it to play smoothly, you'll need to
tailor your preloader to your movie. by knowing the distribution of bytes
across your timeline and by calculating the load speed of a user, you can
determine when to start you movie playing (assumming the load speed of a user
stays constant).

Buffering and Preloader Question

Is it possible to build a preloader that delays the movie only for as long
as the (streaming) movie is buffering? Once there is enough bufffered to
play, I'd like the movie to begin to play, even though I may continue the
loading animation. How do you determine when there is enough in the buffer
to play smoothly? I'm using Flash MX.

Any scripts to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Geoff

Thanks, but what if I am using external audio files? I don't quite get it
yet.
