I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

Question

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying.  Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play?  This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = true;
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = false;
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
myVideo.play();
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
Thanks,
Arguilo

Answer 1

you can start the video and then stop it.  it will continue to download (which you can monitor).  when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button.  before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.
