Stop flv-container swf buffering

[bekibutton]

Hi,

We have a swf that plays an flv on the homepage of one of our websites. Unfortunately the site is exceeding its bandwidth because everytime someone arrives on the homepage the flv (at approx 30Mb) is buffering whether they watch the video or not.

Is there any way to prevent the video buffering until the user clicks play? I have Flash 8 and Flash CS3 but can only use Flash 8/AS2.0 files with our CMS.

Thanks!
Becki

Do you have a link to this?

Are you using a FLVPlayback component or a video Object and/or netStream?

Is the autoPlay set to true?

Autoplay is set to false, and I think I'm using an FLVPlayback component (I've just basically imported the video into the swf, nothing fancy).

I'm afraid I can't send you a link due to client confidentiality :-(

Thanks for the help!
