Optimizing a Flash Movie

Free Flash Tutorial

7. Show Streaming

In Test Mode you can see what the streaming will look like. That means that Flash will emulate how the file will play when it is downloaded.

In addition the Bandwidth Profiler will show you what frame you are currently on and how much has preloaded or if there are places when the Flash movie stops as insufficient info has downloaded to play.

In Test Mode go to: View > Show Streaming

The fat green line shows which frames have downloaded:

The Play head is in frame 3 while frame 21 is downloading (in green).

You should try this as it gives you a live view of the download process. Set the speed of the modem you want to emulate in Test Mode. Go to: Debug
