Preventing progressive download FLV file from downloading until Play is clicked
by Nicholas Shera on Mar 11, 2009 at 11:34:27 pm

I've already posted this question in the Flash forum but have not received a real solution to my dilemma. I was therefore wondering if anyone on this forum can solve my problem. Repeating my post below:

I've searched the whole internet for hours and no one seems to be able to answer the following simple question:

"How do you embed an FLV file (using a program such as Dreamweaver) with progressive download, such that the user's browser does NOT begin downloading until the Play button is clicked?"

I already know how to embed an FLV file using Dreamweaver, but I can't prevent embedded files from downloading automatically in the browser the instance you navigate to the relevant page.

This is a very important thing for me to be able to do, since some of my pages will have several embedded videos on them. However I have noticed during testing that ALL the videos begin downloading in the background. I do not want this to happen as it makes the video-watching experience unsatisfactory for users with slower connections.
