Hi,
I am creating a simple Html page and that page includes a video.
I use this code:

<embed src='http://www.gametrailers.com/download/19007/t_cod4a.mov' autoplay="false" width='480' height='286'></embed>

It works fine, but ...
The video starts downloading as soon as I open the page and here's my question:
Is it possible to let the video start downloading when you click the play button?
Or is this only possible by making your own flash player?

Why would you want to delay a movie from downloading before hitting play? Doing so would only require that the user wait while enough loads for it to play (couple seconds sure, but hey, i don't like waiting).

Without a custom flash player to do this, i know of no way to do it. I do, however, know that you need to make sure you use the proper tags to ensure XBC. i.e. wrap the embed in an object tag...
