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

Just to add to the previous: At the point when videos fail to
load, nothing else in the programme works e.g. links to Word/PDF
documents do not open. A page refresh command doesn’t do anything
as well and one has to restart the browser to access the resource
again.|||

I have just realised that although the resource creates
problems in IE 7.0, it works fine in Firfox. Are there any known
issues of FLVPlayBack Component vis-à-vis IE. Can anyone
suggest a way out? Thanks.|||
I have got the solution. The problem was due to the wrong
MIME type in the IIS server for FLVs. So I changed the MIME type
from Application/octet-stream to video/x-flv and the website now
runs fine.
