Media preloading

Hi all, can anybody tell me how to stop media from preloading when the page it’s on opens. I’m thinking of Flash and QT video, and MP3 files in QT. I want to put a bunch of MP3 files with a QT controller on a page, but not have them all download as soon as the page opens. I’ve seen this done on other sites, though maybe not with QT.

Any ideas?
Colin.

You could use a flash file with the MP3 files embedded to create a button to turn the MP3 files on and off as and when the user wants.

Hi David,
Haven’t a clue how to do that. Are there any tutorials I could take a look at.
