Using the MediaPlayback component, is there a way to hold the downloading (and playing) of an flv until the user clicks the play button? I tried setting autoPlay = false which make the flv not play, but it will still download, thus making the flv download compete with other conent on the web page. Our goal is to have the other content (jpgs and such...these are non flash) on the web page load as fast as they did before adding in the flash file, which contains only the MediaPlayback component for playing a simple flv.
