Flash Video Loading

[Kison]

Hi,

I am a relative ActionScript noob. What I need is rather simple. I have a video which is embedded into a forum site, which means it'll reload every time someone refreshes the page. However, it's set not to play unless they hit the play button. However, the loading of the video is wasting bandwidth.

Is there a way that I can have the video not load unless the play button is pressed? My brief google search did not yield anything useful.

Thank ye,

Kison!

Using a conponent player?

If so, set autoPlay to false.

First, let me make sure I am actually doing what you said correctly. In the first frame I add this line :

autoplay = false;

However, this doesn't seem to stop the video from actually _loading_. I don't care so much about it automatically playing, as that can be fixed with a simple "stop()". But the fact the entire video loads is wasting bandwidth because on that page, it is rarely, if ever, actually watched. I'd like the entire video not to be loaded unless the play button is pressed. I'm not sure if this is possible.

Can you attach your .fla?
