Hi everyone,
I will be greatly obliged if anyone can identify the problem here.
I have created a website in flash which contains around among other things, 12-13 flvs in different sections and around 4 sound files. A section does not display more than one FLV. To display the FLVs, I have used the ‘Import Video’ feature and chosen the ‘progressive download from a webserver’ option as the website is being hosted on a webserver. When the import finishes, video playback component appears on the stage. For audio files, I have used the loadSound() function.
Now the problem is that the videos work fine on some computers, but on others some of the videos and sound play, and some do not. I was wondering whether the following may be the cause of proble:
a) The speed of internet connection
b) Further, I have different sections of the website on different frames on stage (yeah I know not the ideal implementation strategy), so when a section with video is encountered, the programme simply goes to that frame on the stage, and the video starts playing by it self. Similarly when the user switches to another section and consequently the programme moves to another frame on stage, I assume that the video stops downloading by itself as the player is no more in that frame. Is this the right way to do this or do I need to add code explicitly asking the video to stop before it exits the frame?
c) Finally, was wondering whether the videos do not appear because the user’s buffer/cache is full and we need to clear this each time before a video is displayed.
The website is ready to be rolled out and its so frustrating that these glitches have occurred at the last minute. I will be grateful for any clue/help.
Many thanks,
Essaeyu
