Flash partial pre load

how do i make a flash movie to start playing when the first scene is load so it finishes loading the other scenes while the first one is playing so the viewer only wait the first scene to load instead of waiting the whole movie

i searched on some flash forums and it seems u cannot do that, or at least its better to create different movies instead of scenes and then preload them whenever needed...

In flash 8 you can make a movie that load partially, when there is an streaming server in between, or using the player object that cames with flash 8 profesional. It creates a external .FLV file and download from the server in streaming way !!! ... but ... there are a lot of servers like yahoo and lycos that dont allow .FLV extension in a file, and renaming the file and pointing the control to the new name doesnt work. I prefer to use preloaders ... with a next movie button ... and download a 30 sec. file while is playing, but thats me (i can ask for choices while is playing the file, and download the version left or right ... or pers. or hi / low res ... etc).
