How to create "transition" while FLV Videos load before and during "chaining" or "looping"

Question

The Status:
OK, I now have Action Script 3 that will work for chaining FLV videos... or Looping an FLV video.
But when one video ends there is a short pause before the next one loads and starts... the progress bar for the Flash Player displays diagional green lines... and it is simply not a smooth transistion.
This happens when chaining or when looping.
And, even though I'm doing a progressive download... where the video starts very quickly... and plays while it downloads... there is a short delay at the start. That is not as noticable as the break between videos or when looping back to replay the same video.
The Question:
Is there a way to create a visual transistion... say a rotating object... or something to keep the motion/action going during that short interval?
I've seen something like this before... like two (broken line) circles rotating in opposit directions... or something.
It show the "busy" status or whatever I guess.
Thanks for any help.

That depends on how you're loading your videos. Assuming you're using a loader object, you would add/show and remove/hide this
animation while you're waiting for the load of the video to complete. If you're loading the file(s) directly into a FLVPlayback object then you'll want to do this:
import lash.events.VideoEvent;
FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.bufferingStateEntered, showBufferState);
FLVPlaybackObject.addEventListener(VideoEvent.playingStateEntered, clearBufferAnimation);
function showBufferState(e:VideoEvent):void
     //Do your busy animation here
function clearBufferAnimation(e:VideoEvent):void
     //Hide/stop your busy animation here
However, I may be all wrong about your methods. Let me know if this works or if you need anymore help. Thanks,
