How can you "stream" mpg videos without making the player load the entire fracking song first!?
thanks, btw, for nice howto in making mp3's play using the flash player. It would be nice to have the video player act as the mp3 player acts.. starts to play and buffers on-the-fly.
Was using this code:
[file.mpg]

it's the only thing that even loads and runs, (after it has downloaded the song first, that is).
