Preload Video?

D

Dorothy

I have a web page that has 4 very small video clips that appear in sequence with text. It runs great in my FP browser, but when I published it the video takes a second to download, so visitors see a small (.wmv) box. How can I preload these video files before the web page script starts up

The .wmv files are about 200 KB each. The video works correctly in both the FP2003 preview browser (M.I.E. 6.0) and on my published web page. But, on the published web page, like I said it shows a small (.wmv) box for a split second before the video starts to play. It would be great if I can preload the video files before the web page loads. any suggestion are greatly appreciated, or if it is not possible at all

Can you do me a favor and let me know when you find out?
Also does anyone know how what format is BEST to play
back animated logo's etc?
I was hoping I could get away with a 300 frame animated
gif and I was able to reduce it to 176k but it won't play
back at any reasonable speed. Anyone have a suggestion?
