Flash... downloadable?
December 2, 2008 12:00 AM
Technically, unless you are using a streaming server for the video, it's not streaming. It downloads to the users computer anyway to play. A progressive download just allows you to start watching the part you've already downloaded to your computer. To satisfy the IT guys you should just have to make it so it doesn't start playing until it is 100% loaded. It still should report fine - even though it's on the computer it still is running in the browser. Does that help/make sense?Technically, unless you are using a streaming server for the video, it's not streaming. It downloads to the users computer anyway to play.
