Ok, so I recently posted a really stupid question. I'm reasonably sure this one is not quite as bad, but I am a novice flasher!
Q) Is it possible to start loading (downloading) a very large flash video in the background on one page, then starting to play it on a click through second page?
Because the file is large, around 30Mb, can I get a page to start downloading (as if the movie started to play but is on pause) so that when the user clicks play, and is taken to the next page where the video starts playing, we already have a bit of a head start on the download?
I do hope the theory makes sense. Is something like this possible? ;)
Thanks
