Anyone know of a way to buffer an flv file so it loads for example 10% before it starts to play.

I’ve tried changing the buffer time with setBufferTime but it seems to have little effect. The problem I have is flv’s not starting smoothly - they start to play immediately, then stall and jump a few frames before playing properly.
