Ryan,

The Flash Player will always wait for all content on a frame to load before
progressing to the next frame. Ie: if you have a very large clip on frame 5
of your timeline and not much on the frames before it may stream the first 4
frames then pause for a very long time while the 5th frame loads.

The only way around this is to preload a certain amount of the clip before
starting by either using 

getBytesLoaded() == whateverAmount 

or if it's easier you could stop the animation until 

_framesloaded == oneMoreThanTheTroublesomeFrame

Streaming things efficiently takes a little thought...

Open up the bandwidth profiler to check the weight of certain frames.

Subject: [fugli] Streaming content from a MovieClip

Heya,

I have an animation that plays along in the timeline, then comes to a
movieclip (in the Library) which plays another animation.

I'm trying to get this to load smoothly, but it seems that Flash
doesn't resume playing until the entire embedded movieclip is loaded.

Is is possible to get flash to stream an embedded movieclip down to
the browser, without waiting for it to load fully?

thanks, bye
