I'm encoding and embedding multiple flash clips per page. These clips are around 2mb in size. By clips I mean flv files loading in swf containers.

I don't want them preloaded, instead only loaded when the user clicks the play button. Sorta like a Youtube video. Actually.. exactly like a Youtube video. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I'm unfortunately not Flash savvy (thus posting in the newbie section) so if you could please please explain in very simple directions or perhaps a product I could buy. I want to learn this so I can do my part with my sons website, I promised I would help.

Just to explain again I'm trying to have just the video paused and not loaded until the user presses play. I already have the autoplay turned off but the video still preloads which isn't what I want. Thanks to whomever can help in advance, really appreciate it.
