How can i preload a Flash 8 file thats playing a movie?

You will need to have a preloader that follows the code that does the
streaming. Example would be frame 1 could contain the FLVPlayer Flash
Component that would play the flv and frames 2-4 the preloader loop and
frame 5 + the movie content.

In the preloader loop you can select measuring by number of frames
downloaded or number of bytes downloaded and you can decide if the numbers
should be a percent of the total possible or a fraction depending on your
design needs.

In case you are not sure what a preloader code looks like, you can look at
some examples I provide for students in my Flash courses at
http://www.hosfordusa.com/ClickSystems/courses/flash/. Scroll down to
preloaders.

Not show there is the Flash ProgressBar component that is also a preloader.

How can I preload the movie in Flash 8 (if not the entire thing, at least
some of it) while its using the streaming features to play the (.flv) file
in Flash 8?
