RE: FLASH: QT *within* Flash - test pls

[Michael J. Weldon]

Pentium 2 333 MHZ - IE5 - 56K


I looked at both versions and the Flash version holds up favorably to the

Quick Time .... the Flash version also loads faster.  OK....now describe, in

detail, how you did this for us, please.

Hi all,


Would you please have a look at:


http://accesson.absolute.net/emailad


And let us know how it works for you.

It's an apple ad by chiat day.  A converted QT mov.


It's a Quicktime movie playing *within* a flash file test.  So, flash

is playing the QT, not QT flaying flash.



If you respond, pls include:


your cpu type & speed

browser & version

connection


FYI, the Flash version of this movie is about 640k, but also about

20% less in size than the QT version.


You can compare to the original quicktime at:


http://www.apple.com/imac/imac99/theater/index.html


Is the quality comparable enough?


I think that hosting a QT within flash is a viable method of delivery

for some cases.  They sure beat the heck out of banner ads.  What do

you think?


Note, we will be loading these in the background from our site, so

there won't be a need for a preloader, they just become available as

an option to the audience as they are loaded in our ad window.  Since

the audience is not waiting for them, load is not an issue.  But I

put in a preloader for this test.


Note2, other programs you have running like checking mail etc, could

pause it, as with any fla mov.


Thanks for your help!


ATB,
