Playback a seamless animation using wmv format

Question

I have created a seamless looping video for a piece of equipment.
In after effects, the video is truly seamless and no skipping is present.
Currently I am exporting to swf format, which plays back seamless at the cost of a larger file size.
The reason for going with the wmv format is the size is significantly less than the swf.
Is there a player that can playback a wmv file seamlessly?
Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC Player, all have a pause or black flash at the end of the video when looping.
Any other format recommendations?
Thanks for the help

Answer 1

if your loaded swf just plays from frame 1 to its main timeline last frame and that's when you want your loading swf to advance to frame 3, you can use:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new  URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf");
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoad);
myLoader.load(url);
function onLoad(e:Event){
MovieClip(myLoader.content).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkPlay);
function checkPlay(e:Event){
if(e.target.currentFrame==e.target.totalFrames){
e.target.stop();
MovieClip(myLoader.content).removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkPlay);
removeChild(myLoader);
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoad);
myLoader=null;
MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
