Preload stops movie and do not stream

[thomasoe]

Hi

I am preloading an external swf movie, but it seems that the movie is loaded in the browser cache before it starts playing. It to supposed to preload for a while, then start to play the movie as the rest of the movie loads. Now it loads the whole movie into the browser (it seems) then start to play when it is fully loaded.

Is there an update in the last versions of flashplayer or browser that prevents it from streaming right ?

Has anyone got a solution to this ? It seems to work fine on older browserversions.

Here is how my preloader works:

onClipEvent (load) {
var Mode = "stop";
var SliderRange = McLine._width-BuSlider._width;
var PointerRange = BuSlider._width-1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var MediaLength = _root.movie._totalframes;
PercentLoaded = int((_root.movie.getBytesLoaded()/_root.movie.getBytesTotal())*100);
McLine._xscale = PercentLoaded;
if (Mode == "skip") {
_root.movie.gotoAndStop(int(BuSlider._x*(MediaLeng th/SliderRange)));
} else if (Mode == "play") {
BuSlider._x = int(_root.movie._currentframe*(SliderRange/MediaLength));
}
McSliderPointer._x = BuSlider._x+int(_root.movie._currentframe*(Pointer Range/MediaLength));
}


It is triggered with a button saying:

my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mc.loadClip("movie2.swf","movie");
