• I've either not seen this elsewhere or simply not noticed it... I have four independent .flv streams built into a master movie that play the stream when clicked:

    Upon loading the flv stream and playing the movie, there is a strange "blink" of color in the video frame before an individual stream plays. Further, the color is random. Any thoughts on how to get rid of this? It's driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.

    PS--as a side note, I had to completely (and unintuitively) rig this flash movie timeline just to get them all to play visibly. It seemed that apparently, if the playhead has to reverse in the timeline, it either plays with no video (but audio) or loads the movie on a layer under the stage.


  • See, the runner 'blink' is green, the mom one is orange, etc... dunno how you missed that. ;)

    The color is NOT the background color (unless it just by mere chance happened to be those hex colors when you looked at it), in fact, the color changes randomly as you click around and load other movies. I actually wouldn't have as much of a problem with it being the background, but if you click around you'll notice you'll get brown sometimes, black, red, blue... literally, click from one to the next and you should see this. I've added a similar snippet of code already to the one you posted a while ago thinking the same thing. I am perplexed at this point, perhaps it is a shortcoming of in the flv format that cannot be fixed?


  • I tested it with Internet Explorer, and it was the exact same there. On my system, it defnately just blinks the background color, no matter what browser I use.

    I am using Flash Player 9.


  • Assuming most of the known world is IE Windows, I can live with it; however, Mac browsers do it and I'd still love to explain it someday. Thanks for taking a look though.


  • It's the background color on mine, for sure. I just spent like 3 minutes randomly clicking around, and it was always the exact same blink, and always the background color.

    Guess that's good news, eh? :thumb:


  • That 'blink' of color isn't random at all, it's just getting rid of the placeholder rollover image that you have there before it plays the .FLV stream, so you see the background for a second. Add some code to make sure that it is fully loaded before the other one goes away.

    I don't know how you're loading the .flv files, but something like:


    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    h = myMovie.getBytesLoaded();
    i = myMovie.getBytesTotal();
    if (i != 0 && h/i == 1) {
    //play code
    }
    };


    See, the runner 'blink' is green, the mom one is orange, etc... dunno how you missed that. ;)
