Okay, well I guess my question is...  Will the fact that some information is 

still being streamed and downloaded by the user affect the playback of the 

portions already downloaded?  It's like RealAudio isn't it?  RealAudio 

streams.. but then if your computer isn't downloading faster than it's 

playing, it stops right then and there and 'buffers'.  I guess I just want 

the user to experience the movie the way it was meant to be shown.  I don't 

want it to stop in the middle of playing and mess everything up.  I guess 

that's why I make the viewer download the whole movie.  I wish I didn't have 

to do that and could stream the damn thing, but only if I'm sure the movie 

runs fine.  Any tips on what to load first?  *shrug*
