Can I preload external MPGs?

I have a long piece that uses a lot of external MPGs in addition to the embedded content. It is on my development machine, but I just watched it with the client on their network of factory and the movie took forever to load. I would put a "Loading" GIF in-between animated, but it does not animate, and even if it had, the room dragging through these charges.

Is it possible to preload the next MPG when playing? If so, how? Also, is there a trick to get a "Loading" animated graphic to play while loading the next movie?

Thanks for the tips...

Yes - this means that the CODEC used is not installed on their machines.

You can find on which CODECs are installed on the client machines by research
in the control panel sound and Audio Devices Properties. The last tab is
Material, and there should be a video clip Codes, you can select and display
the properties of. You should see a list of the CODECs installed. Note down
and then go back and re-encode your film with each of them in order to run the tests
...

Yes I know it will be a huge pain, but my laptop virginal (mostly) only has
15 CODECs installed. If the client machines are also locked you
suggest, it may have less than 10 installed.

  • How to make a preloader external movieclip?

    How to make a preloader external movieclip? Anyone know of a good tutorial because I have tried for the past 12 hours get a preloader to work (not 12 hours right lol). My file is 2.6 MB, so I really need the preloader. Or if there is than any free programs that make preloaders that would be too good. Or all components that have a tutorial with them (also should be free).

    -Thank you

    If your main swf file main.swf in your preloader.fla, you need to create your animation (usually a bar that is filled from left to right) and a textfield, which shows the progress of the load.

    If you create a movieclip (say preloaderMC) in preloader.fla that will contain both and your filling bar instance name fillbar and your textfield instance name tf, on the main timelne of preloader.fla, you can use

    this.createEmptyMovieClip("targetMC",1);

    targetMC.load ("main.swf");

    this.onEnterFrame = function() {}

    var bl:Number=targetMC.getBytesLoaded();

    var bt:Number=targetMC.getBytesTotal();

    {if(BL>0&&BL>=BT)}

    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }

    preloaderMC.tf.text=Math.round(100*bl/bt) + "% Loaded";

    preloaderMC.fillbar.xScale = 100 * bl/bt;  the left edge of the fillbar should be aligned with its stage-Center

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • Broken LCD - can not get external display

    My screen is no longer good so im trying to connect an external display.

    Been trying for hours to try to get the external display to work to boot.

    Ive tried 2 sets of hd and svga cables change everything. The function key.

    The laptop does not recognize the display, but seems to go in something or powersave mode.

    The only way I can get the external display to work is if I remove the battery and wait a bit and then power

    the display works with a notice on the screen that the cmos will reset to default settings then restarts

    and back to where I was once again... IM thinking that it something in the bios that is the cause.

    I thank you and hope I can understand this.

  • Question: How can I format external drive in exFAT? NOT in NTFS!

    OK, so frustrated that I had to go through the hedges to sign up here to ask a question like that. Why can I NOT format exFAT? I have many external HDDs that were formatted in exFAT under WIndows XP Pro but my new system, completely updated Windows 7 Professional, I can't format external drives of exFAT. The option is NOT available. In the Format window, file system, is the only option: NTFS (default), there is no other option. I googled the * on this issue and found no answer. This external hard drive MUST be formatted as a disc exFAT. Period. Someone please help.

    I'm surprised the research online increase this... You can do it from the command prompt, but not from this dialog box.  Here's how:

    -Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the start/search box, right click on the cmd search result and select "Run as Administrator"
    -Type format g: FS:exFAT , then press ENTER to start formatting the G drive as exFAT
    To view all other options, type format /? and press ENTER.
  • Can no longer import mpg still as timeline - get Media in the meantime

    After several years of using again author DVD now I can't import a .mpg file, generated with Media encode, in still as a timeline. After that it indexes the import is sticks with status of transcoding DVD to 'Pending(100%) '.

    I'm running Windows 7 pro, 64-bit and the latest versions of Creative cloud of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder.  The video, I am trying to import is a little long at 2:30, but in the past, I imported a lot longer videos.  I would appreciate a quick response because I work at a date limit.

    Hey Stan

    The reason to use an earlier version of SOUL, which has been the most early

    version worked.  I've never had a problem to get PR in yet

    except when the system crashed during transcoding.

    I was not aware of an upgrade to still be available.

    Now a day later - I have advanced and burned a disc even if there was

    No audio in the presentation yet.  Surprise, the drive was

    audio.,.

    Still don't know why mpg files do not work in another.

    Thanks for your help,

  • Can I use external links to my pictures? BC supports this feature? If so, please give me a solution for this.

    Can I use external links to my pictures? BC supports this feature? If so, please give me a solution for this.

    There is no need to make several posts on this.

    First you must understand how the web works. When you visit a website, your computer downloads the images, it's cache, it stores images, load the images and presents them. This is the basic concept.

    All Web sites can incorporate an image from another website, including BC.
    What you say does not concern if you can hotlink on BC or not... That is until you are actually doing. You mention a CSV file so that you have a web application with custom image and by the CSV field putting external URLS?

    What is an example of the url you put in? -C' maybe is incorect or in a bad way

    What is the configuration of the layout of the web application? -It can not do it in a way to manage the external URL...

    There are several things that could be wrong, then you really need to expand on things, please.

  • How to preload external swf file in my main timeline?

    To try to reduce the size of the file for download time... I have a SWF file that I placed it by using the "UILoader" (not sure if it's the right thing to do)... what I would like to work on is how to make a preloader in my main to this SWF file timeline when it comes...

    I hope that makes sense - I am very new to all this and struggling with terminology, etc.

    I thought that Actionscript would be right now what I need - but not a clue...

    I conclude this thread for people who seek a way preload external SWF files. However, please note that I started a new thread to unload the file again on a mouse event... so even if it's not completely final it will start the process of an external SWF preloading... Hope this helps someone.

  • preloading external files in the cache of the drive? (title 2)

    I've created a portfolio with image animated buttons and navigation arrows (all clips nested).

    All navigation is managed using goAndStop() in image tags. The site has lots of image content, so

    to avoid downloading original swf reasonably short, I used multiple instances (renamed) separated from loading component.

    I guess the loading component's graphic substitute just to type in the command loadMovie() for people like me who are inexperienced with scripts.

    With a normal server and bandwidth traffic level T1 latency after click is 1-2 seconds.

    Acceptable, but sometimes he gets up to 5 + seconds, which compromises the user experience (and could cost me a customer).

    Y at - it a command string can I insert an image in the layer actions at the beginning of the timeline (after the progress bar) to preload all external files in the player cache after the start of the run?

    It seems like a logical approach, but I couldn't find anything to reference sources from Adobe that answers this question.

    Thanks in advance

    No, I didn't say that and that is not true.

    It is easily achievable.  It's just not a declaration of a single line with details managed by flash.

    you list all of the files you want preloaded and usually there is strategy and coding used for loading in the background when the bandwidth is not used for more immediate needs.

    Hello

    > * 1 *-I want to use in the car for playing DVDs in the back seat. Can I use the Toshiba external dvd drive?

    No, you can't attach an external CD/DVD drive to the AC100.
    The USB port supports the external USB HDD (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) and a memory flash USB (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) for copying data.

    > * 2-* is there a car charging/adapter plug or anything like that?
    Yes, google for cigarette lighter Thrive AT100. Otherwise, you can order part comatibel of ASP in your country.

    > * 3 *-my stereo bluetooth, USB and ipod has access to-what options there are to store & playing music on the Tablet via these

    Take a look in the Android market and search of HiFi Android app.
    But as far as I know if you want to stream music from tablet to sorrows, both must be connected to the same network.

    > * 4 *-wifi is possible? I already connected it to a wireless modem; would need a modem separated in the car?
    AT100 supports LAN wireless
