On the main page just have an object/embed call with the SWF loaded in at 1 pixels by one pixel.

Hey folks - this is OT but I know someone on this list will know the answer: I need to 'pre-load' a SWF file prior to it ever being launched with a click. I have done some googling and it appears it can be done, but I'm just wondering if someone here has done it below. Here is the scenario: We have a Flex app with a fairly good size footprint. When a user hits the main page of our website, they get our HTML page with graphics, etc. There are multiple ways for them to click to launch the Flex App. When they click one of the links/graphics to launch the app, they then have to wait for the app to load completely before they can navigate it. What we want to be able to do is for those users who come to our main page and start reading information there, we want the app to be loading in the background without them being aware of it. If they read long enough for the app to load, then, when they click one of the links/graphics to launch the app, it will come up very quickly because it's already in the browser cache. 1) Can you confirm this is possible and 2) Do you have any sample code or a reference that I can use to go by? Thanks!
