Simple answer: No.
Explanation: The request for your CFM page and the request for the embedded
object are two totally different requests. (Even taking into account the
case of a persistant HTTP connection, it's still a distinct request.) And,
since you aren't using CF to generate the embedded object (are you?) then CF
will finish serving up the HTML page and will exit. It'll probably be gone
before the browser even gets around to requesting the media file.
Welcome to stateless programming. (Well, relatively stateless, anyway.)
Time to throw all those old persistant paradigms out the window. ;)

Subject: [CF-Talk] using the <embed> tag in a CF page.
If I have an <embed> tag in a .cfm page, and that <embed> tag calls a
sizeable media file, will a CF thread be tied up until that entire media
file is downloaded?
Any knowledge on the subject is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
