black "frame"

[Boroova]

Hi, I don't speak (write) english very well, so sorry for bugs.
I have big problem with playing video file (mpg) in flash with FMProjector.
Before FMProj. starts playing an animation, there is always a black frame (black blink of animation - not truly black frame in animation). It is short but I see it.

I want to play video clearly after load or play command, without this black blink (black frame). I wonder if there is some action (command) that check if the hole animation is loaded and after that is possible to start playing. Mabye now there will be not this blink.

My actions are:
fscommand ("fas.avclip.Autosize", "FALSE");
fscommand ("fas.avclip.DisplaySize", "FitToSize");
fscommand ("fas.avclip.Rect", "0,0,610,380");
fscommand ("fas.avclip.VideoOnTop", "true");
fscommand ("fas.avclip.load", "anim2.mpg");
fscommand ("fas.avclip.AutoPlay", "FALSE");
fscommand ("allowscale", "false");
in first frame ^^^^

and
on (release) {
fscommand("fas.control.play");
}
in second frame (on button)

Please Help ME !!!!!

The black blink is cause by wmp 7.0.
We have add a new fscommand in the newest version(not released yet) to force using wmp6.4 to prevent this.

I runed my animation on computers that have not WMP7. At Athlon XP1500+ there is short black blink, but on celeron 300 there is black fame few seconds until the whole animation is loaded from HDD. So I maked actions in first frame to load animation and not to play automactly. On second frame is action play (on button) and here appears black frame that continous few seconds and in this time computer read from HDD. At this machine is WMP6.4.
So I suspect that FMProj. is not a standalone player but it need to run WMP first and then, when computer starts WMP, in my animation appear blank frame until WMP is not loaded.

And a question:
is there a comend in FMProj to not to start playing until the whole mpg is not loaded? Mabey this will help to dispose blank frame.

Why during animation I can't change parameter: VideoOnTop

To start playing mpg it must be set VideoOnTop("TRUE")?
I need start playing mpg with parameter VideoOnTop("FALSE") and after few frames change to VideoOnTop("TRUE"), but it dont work, why?

Yes, FMProjector utilize wmp to playback video.
No, you cannot switch VideoOnTop setting dynamically in FMProjector.
ABout the black blink question, I will let you know later.

Thanx for the reply. I'm waiting for the reply about this black frame. I started my swf animation on PC Celeron333 and HDD ATA33 and when it start playing mpg there is 3 seconds black frame and HDD is hard working.

Unfortunelty, we have confirmed the short black blink frame while loading video is the standard behavior of Window Media Player when in VideoOnTop mode. There is no fscommand to prevent that.
Thank you for your patience.
