How to stop my flash video from autoloading?

    I have 2 flash videos on one page and for some reasons IE wants to load the flash videos before anything else.

    Is there any way to make the flash videos wait until the user pushes the play button then have a buffer before the video plays?

    Thanks!

    Yes, add "play" attribute to the HTML tag, like this
    <OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="videofilename.wmv">
<PARAM name="play" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="videofilename.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" play="0" > </EMBED>
</OBJECT>
    HTML:

    You'll want to get a preloader. There are plenty out their already that you can use but they will highlight someone else's site or something. You can start with their pre-loader and then make some tweaks to customize it.
