Expecting a fairly long/complex movie to load immediately over the web on

the click of a button (especially on a slow server, locally is ever so much

faster)


Loading several things (or fewer very large things) at once has overloaded

the flash player's available memory (only on the mac?) - though usually this

one will make things stop loading partway through so it's fairly easy to

detect.
