Video and Preloading

[SlimEra]

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use Macromedia's Flash for streaming video.
The thing is, the file size is huge, now i dont minf the size but inorder to watch it viewers will have to wait for the loading to end, which is bad having the file reach 70MB and more.
My question is, can i have flash to precache only some of the swf file before playing it and then, while playing it continue loading the file to it's end?
I'll very much appriciate any help, =)

Era.

Any preloader can start the movie playing whenever a certain percentage of the movie has downloaded. Question is only checking this on the slowest connection possible will give you an idea as if this percentage is sufficent to start playing the movie and hoping the rest of the movie can download and plaay without any breaks.

Regards,
