RE: [Flashcoders] Multiple FLVPlayback problem
That's great arron, I actually started looking into this metod yesterday
myself after seeing the activePlayer index in the FLVPlayback component. I
was thinking that extending the component would be best.
Well, I will be very greatful for your help/class.
Cheers

one other thing, you might want to split up your video even more.. like
6 - 10 clips. that way they're way smaller files.. seeking and loading
wouldn't be a problem then.

about 10 - 15 megs..
as far as preloading the flvs. what you need to do is start playing
the first one. then when you get a metadata event for that one. start
playing the second one, once you get metadeta for that one. add it to
total time and pause it.. it will still continue to download the flv
though... so basically you need to wait till one has metadeta.. then
start the next one. or you could come up with some other way of doing

it also works great but my files are considerablly smaller.

Hi all,
I am working on several projects that have very large videos (1-2 hours)
that need to be delivered on CD-Rom Intranet. After trying to use one
large video file I realized there is a large problem when seeking to any
point in the video in that It has to buffer itself up to the point you
wish to play on these large videos that can take quite some time.
This led me to chop the video up into 2 min chunks write a segmented
video player so they play as one video. This is working great on most
machines but on the occasional Windows 98 machine it is crashing when
initially grabbing the flv's.
I think the problem is that when initializing the component it is trying
to load all the flv's at once.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Is there another segmented video
player about?

RE: [Flashcoders] Multiple FLVPlayback problem
I finished a project with quite some FLVs myself this week (around 45
different 1 to 3 MB FLVs) and used the activeVideoPlayerIndex technique...
I throw an array of videos in my VideoLoader class and it starts preloading
the 1st one...when that is done loading it adds 1 to the
activeVideoPlayerIndex and preloads the next one in the array...etc.etc.
Works great! Curious to see your code Aaron!

thats my code as of right now. the code isn't up to par. being in the
middle of stuff. but once I get done with a deadline i'll update it and
make it available. how you use it is create a new instance of
MultipleFLVVide0Player() : ex:var mfvlp:MultipleFLVVideoPlayer = new
MultipleFLVVideoPlayer( ['1.flv','2.flv'] , videoObject );
then you just tap into the events it dispatches.. use those for all of
your controls and bars and what not.. like I said.. i need to update
this majorly so I can realease. it.. but.. it works great. Also not if
you try to use this. you can take out any StaticLogger references or any
clib.* imports...
