I’m wondering if it’s possible to begin loading a flash file when a visitor goes to my html homepage, before they click on the flash link.

Basically, my main site is one flash movie with many photo galleries (it has a link from my homepage that is Dreamweaver html). I’m wondering if there’s a way for it to begin downloading when someone initially goes to my homepage, and before clicking on the link to the main flash movie.

Thanks for any help,  
Brent

That’s the question I’m asking. The flash movie exists, it just hasn’t been clicked yet. I figured this is probably unlikely, but just in case I thought I would ask!
