embedded swf movies skipping

Hello,

I have a program that consist of a externally loaded shockwave movies. Each one of these external shockwave movies has it's own .mov file loaded into the timeline. Each one of these movies has it's own play, stop, ff, rw controller.

I am having problems when I start playing a movie and quickly jump to another movie. When I go back to the first movie selected, it starts skipping. It seems that if a threshold level of bytes is loaded it will do fine. Below the threshold, it starts skipping.

Any Ideers?

sorry by shockwave what do you mean, as in .swf ? It would help if I knoew how you wre loading them, into levels or into a clip ?

thanks for your reply.

Yes the main movie is loading .swf files that have a .mov file embedded w/in them.

Peace,
Clem

There is well known problem with embeded MOVs in SWF (loss of sync, audio etc.). It could be problem with incompatibility between Sorenson codecs (S.Video vs. S. Spark)

Try to unencode MOV to AVI and then embed into SWF.

Thanks again. Well that's very good to know. I have tried everything to try to rectify the problem w/ no luck.

It's nice to know when things go wrong and they aren't my fault!

Clem, is the main movie loading the swf's into a level or a movie clip ?
aslo is it stopped at the start, would it be possible to use FLV's instead.
