My understanding is that preloading implies that you are loading the entire
movie before playing, whereas buffering would be to load a small amount
before starting a progressive stream playback. I think that by definition,
if you are using progressive streaming flv's, you want to size them so that
they *stream* - and other than a very short buffer, there should be no need
for preloading.

Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV preloading question
Hi list!
I`m working on a project that uses a lot of FLVs,
My issue is this:
The visitor of the website is watching a flv (1st flv ) and when he is
done
he can choose an option that will result in showing another FLV (2nd flv).
What would be the best way to preload the 2nd flv while the user is
watching the 1st FLV?
And while I`m at it, can anyone explain the difference between buffering a
flv and preloading a flv ?
Thx a lot!
Wout
