Play SWF file before it completly downloads

I have set up a progress bar file that in which i have imported my .swf file.  Is there a way I can start playing the flash movie before it is fully downloaded.
Not sure if this is a buffering or streaming question. Lets say it starts playing when it's downloaded at least 50% of it.
I've looked up and tried several ways, but i think i am confusing myself more then helping.
loadingBar.scaleX = 0;
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("coyoteslide.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showLoadResult);
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
loadingBar.visible = false;
function progressHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void {
var per = e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal;
loadingBar.scaleX = per;
loader.visible = true;
function showLoadResult(evt:Event):void {
addChild(loader);

by default, swfs will play frame 1, when enough has downloaded to display frame 1 (and the other assets designated to load in frame 1 have downloaded).  frame 2 will display when enough has downloaded to display frame 2 etc.

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click:  Delete All
    Now select the Storage tab.

  • How to play swf files in quicktime

    I have recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MBP. Before I could play swf files (with no associated html files) in Quicktime okay, but in Snow Leopard you cannot select the swf to play. Is there a plug in that I now need to play this?

    Perian is definitely not the route. Frrom http://perian.org :
    File formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW
    SWF is a special container made by Adobe Director and can be played back with streaming software, such as a Web page that has the Adobe Shockwave plugin. Open an SWF file in Safari or other browser after installing the latest Shockwave Player, free from Adobe. Some other software that is designed for streaming playback can play SWF media, but not a typical video player like QuickTime Player.
    The contents of an SWF container might include an FLV video file or bitmap images either alone or with other data. Shockwave Player has 3D graphics and interaction options (can capture video, sound, mouse movements etc. from your system by default and send them to a remote server if you don't turn off these permissions).

  • Problem in playing swf files in IE 6.0

    I am facing a big problem in playing swf files in IE 6.0 with

    In my current project their is option to upload the swf files
    to oracle db and when ever wants to view that swf file, reading
    that swf from db and displaying in browser, In win 2000 swf file is
    displaying very fine, but not in win 2003 and win xp. and that swf
    file, entire application is using asp.net, C#
    Can anyone tell the problem behind this situation.

    Hi,
    I'm brand new to programing, so my knowledge is limited. But
    I'm having a
    similar problem where my swf appears but sits on frame 1. I
    have a
    preloader
    set up on fr2. But it just gets stuck there (fr1). I know the
    plugin is
    installed but not sure why it won't display my movie. I know
    it's
    happeneing
    only with IE and XP and XPpro. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I since realized that it's not getting stuck on fr1.
    It's just
    displaying the bg color in the html page while it's waiting
    for the swf to
    load. But the swf never loads. It just sits there. I've tried
    using
    different embed tags, etc. But no-go.
    Here's the first example-
    <body>

  • OSX 10.5.2 and AR8.1.2 playing swf files

    After applying the latest Apple updates to OSX 10.5.2 I find that I can no longer play
    swf files from within a PDF file. I'm using AR8.1.2 with FP9,0,115,0 . Consider
    the example:
    http://www.amrita-cfd.org/4adobe/swf/swf.pdf
    It contains an /Annot "Click to activate SWF!" that is supposed
    to play the swf, but when I click it: a progress bar "buffering" appears
    in the bottom right corner of the screen and then hangs. The swf file
    is included as an attachment, shock-tube.swf, which can be
    opened in an external viewer and so I don't think the swf file
    is the problem.
    I have the same problem with the PDF available at:
    http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=92
    where the swf is embedded using Acrobat,
    rather than my homebrew approach.
    I would very grateful if anyone could shed light
    on this problem.
    Thanks,
    James Quirk

    James,
    I am seeing what you are seeing even on pdfs with swfs that I created
    that previously worked. I guess we will need to file a bug report.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

  • Can CDHtmlDialog play swf file with audio component?

    If not, any suggestion on how to implement playing swf file with audio?
    Many thanks in davance.

    Hi PingHu,
    How do you play the swf file in a html. I tried play a swf file with audio in my CDHtmlDialog class. I just use this:
    Html code Play the SWF file.
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <body>
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="100">
    <param name="movie" value="filename.swf">

    Hi,
    I understand this is quite old topic but the question is actual for a lot of developers.
    The problem is that Flash ActiveX doesn't contain a method that plays movie from any source except file path or URL.
    So there are two approaches are possible:
    1. Emulate file by creating a fake file that provides data from your array. You may BoxedApp SDK for that, look here: BoxedApp SDK Features
    2. Use special .net component that provides this feature: http://f-in-box.com/dotnet/
    Hope this helps.

  • Don't play SWF files in Advanced Account. In administrator account OK.

    Hi from Spain!
    I have a serious problem... xDDD
    I have a PC with 3 accounts in Windows XP: administrator, advanced user and guest user. I have too, two internet browsers (internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox). In administrator account, flash player and shockwave runs perfectly in both browsers, BUT in the other two accounts, I can't play SWF files in Internet Explorer. In mozilla it runs perfectly too.
    I have reviewed the internet settings of Security (custom level -- ActiveX settings) and they're exactly as administrator.
    I have installed flash and shockwave again. I have unistalled and installed later. I have installed from advanced account AS administrator and the problem persists...
    I don't know what to try next...
    some many ideas?? thanks a lot!!!!

    Maybe you need to allow 3rd-party content at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
    Also try to disable Hardware Acceleration under Flash Player Settings.

  • Playing SWF files in FLV Player

    Hi,
                   I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
    Regards,
              Sreelash.

    Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
    The functionality what I meant is following:
    1) The client request for an swf file.
    2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
    3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
    4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
    I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
    Thanks and Regards,
