Hi Andrew, 2) You can create the MediaDisplay and set visible=false so it doesn't show up until you want it. If it doesn't start buffering, you should be able to kick-start it by calling load().
1) What do you mean by "load content"? You can download whatever you want, whenever you want, from a remote object or web service. You can load assets like images by creating them, but making them invisible (like what I suggested above). Hope this helps, Adam -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of elvithrar Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 5:58 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Loading in the background Im quite new to flex and was hoping somebody could answer the following questions: Does flex allow you to load content in the background so if i decide to go to a new "page" the content could already be there? Also, probably more importantly, is it possible to start streaming for a MediaDisplay in the background so once a user views the MediaDisplay the whole video is buffered or a significant portion has already been buffered?
