Problems with creating chapters in large flvs

[chromis]

Hi there,

I'm creating an offline flash piece to go on a cd for a presentation. I have a number of large flvs around the 60mb mark, I am able to display these in my flash movie using the flvplayback component. What I am trying to do is provide a menu of buttons, which will allow a user to play a set portion of the movie. Previously I have embedded the flvs in swfs, loaded them using loadclip and used the onEnterFrame event to count the number of frames being played and thus play a set range of frames.
This method will not work in this case as flash has trouble saving the swf let alone loading it using the loadclip function. The only option as I see it is to load the flv into the flvplayback component and then use cue points to define the points to stop and start. Is this the best method or is there another way?

Thanks in advance,

Chromis

Flash is a lightweight framework and program, Your flash file would have to be pretty large for it to not run properly. So, it's freezing up? And you want to make chapters? Why not splitting it into a few different flash files? Are you still needing assistance for this project?

Hi Joedeene,

Didn't realise i had a reply to this thread but yes i resolved the problem by using cue points in flash.

Thanks,
