The Future Perfect Continuous (Progressive) Tense denotes an action lasting for a period of time up to or including a certain future moment. This moment can be indicated by adverbials with the preposition 'by' or another future action. As with all the Perfect Continuous Tenses the Future Perfect Continuous is not used with stative verbs. With non-stative verbs the Future Perfect Continuous is preferred to the Future Perfect when the speaker wants to emphasise process rather than the future result.
