Streaming Quicktime from a Flash created webpage

[ateale]

hey Guys,

Another question, I want to put a QT movie into my webpage (which I've created in FLASH), and when a person clicks on the link to the movie, it streams/plays.

Does anyone have a link to somewhere that explains how to do this??

Thanks

you would need to make an swf of the mov first and then load that in using loadMovie

thanks, but I didn't quite explain it right.

I want to use the Flash project as my webpage (I guess in swf format).

If I put the QT movie into the project, it will add 12 MB to the swf file, so when people access the webpage, it will take 12MB worth of time to download, as opposed to a few hundred KB.

I want a movie to be loaded seperately in the swf when a person clicks on the button/link to it.

Then the movie will be loaded seperately from the swf.

Does this make any sense?

Any ideas?

Thanks

you can't load a quicktime straight into an swf

Doh!

All this stuffing around, and Flash simply can't do it!

Thanks!
