i have some video on my site that takes a little while to Download <!--more-->. currently there is no way to know how far the Download <!--more--> is or if its even Download <!--more-->ing(it does Download <!--more--> theres just no way for anyone to know it is) so i would like to put in some kind of progress bar for the video, can anyone help me?<!--content-->I don't know how, but I think you should be able to do this using Shockwave or Flash.<!--content-->to do it with flash you would probably need to put the movie in a swf. I am no flash expert but that is just what it seems like to me. But I could very well be wrong. I am assuming you are just doing a standard embed though. You might consider streaming it so the Download <!--more--> is not all at one time.<!--content-->wow i cant believe theres somebody from jax on here. heres the code i used:<br />

<embed src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"MY_MOVIE.avi?type=mov" border="0" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/Download <!--more-->/"></embed><br />
<br />
so if i did streaming how would that change the Download <!--more-->? would the user see video right from the start, and the video would continue to Download <!--more--> at the same time?<br />
<br />
this is my first website so theres a lot i dont know.<br />
<br />
are there any books i could get that go over this stuff?<!--content-->
