So in a search to play a short film for a game, I ran across movieClips with image sequences. Unfortunately, movieClips load all the images at once. Which means any movie made into an image sequence can easily crash an application.
Thus, I attempted to create the function below as a sort of buffered movieclip. The function below loads the images intermittently so that the application doesn’t crash(given any 40 frames don’t go beyond maximum texture memory).
This runs smoothly on the computer but my phone has a hard time swapping out the old movieclip with the new one. The video freezes and then runs the clip every time.
So how can I make the video play smoothly?
