Short summary and context: asked how to make a video wait (buffer) before it starts playing. rightly pointed at the preloader idea, noted player-level differences, and pointed to generic preloader tutorials — but video buffering is handled differently from a SWF preloader. Note that Flash Player reached end-of-life on December 31, 2020; for new projects use HTML5 <video> with preload and canplaythrough. For legacy Flash work (in controlled environments), the usual approach is to control NetStream buffering explicitly.

How to do it in ActionScript 3 (progressive download): create a NetConnection/NetStream, set bufferTime to the number of seconds to accumulate, start play() and immediately pause() so the stream downloads into the buffer, listen for NetStatus events (especially "NetStream.Buffer.Full" / "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") and call resume() when the buffer is full. Also assign a minimal client object with onMetaData to avoid runtime warnings.

Example AS3 pattern:

import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
import flash.media.Video;

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = { onMetaData:function(o:Object):void{} };
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);

var video:Video = new Video(640,360);
video.attachNetStream(ns);
addChild(video);

ns.bufferTime = 5; // seconds to buffer before playback
ns.play("video.mp4");
ns.pause();

function netStatusHandler(e:NetStatusEvent):void {
  switch(e.info.code) {
    case "NetStream.Buffer.Full":
      ns.resume(); // start playback after buffer is filled
      break;
    case "NetStream.Buffer.Empty":
      // show buffering UI
      break;
  }
}

Practical tips and pitfalls: for smooth seeking on progressive MP4, ensure the moov atom is at the file start (use ffmpeg -movflags faststart). For FLV, include metadata (run flvtool2). Cross-domain or streaming (RTMP) setups change behavior — streaming servers support server-side buffer tuning (dual-buffering). Finally, remember end users’ network speed is the limiter; choose a reasonable bufferTime and provide a visible spinner while buffering.
