I have about a five-second movie clip in a flash “banner” (which is actually a movie). The problem is, when it is online, it loads INCREDIBLY slowly and the movie goes slow. Is there anyway to preload it to make it go faster?

Adding a preloader doesn’t make it load any faster, it will just allow the viewer to see the loading progress instead of sitting there looking at a blank screen.
