I have installed the swf file onto our web hosting service. It takes a long time for flash to download and run the file in the browser. Is there a way to stream the invocation. i.e. start playing the swf file before it fully downloads?

Check out http://www.wimpyplayer.com

They have have a player that will "stream" SWF or FLV files from a PHP, ASP or CF server. The "Streaming" is actually a progressive download (the file does play as it downloads). Therefore, anyone concerned with the security of their content should beware. With that said, its cheap and it works great.

There is no option inside Wink to make the rendered file play before it is completely downloaded.

I finally posted a few streaming wink files, nothing fancy. I did a timed recording on the first video, and mouse driven on the second and third videos. I have some scaling issues with the video in the player that I have to sort out.

The player is wimpyAV (see link in previous post above).
