I have searched around, and will continue searching for new things, but I was wondering if anyone had tried to progressively download an .swf. I have a little experience with the code that works for progressively downloading an .flv, but my brain has not yet discovered a way to accomplish this. One of the things that i was thinking was that this might be a way to working around embedding the .flv in my main .swf - which is the best way to create a seamless loop. By creating an embedFLV.swf that has the .flv embedded, then progressively download the embedFLV.swf into my main .swf, I might be able to both decrease load time for the main .swf, and also have a seamless loop in my videos.

i appreciate any ideas or help on this issue!!:jailbreak
