FLASH: Can you Stream without Preloading Music Clips?

[jefferis peterson]

I am doing a site for a record company and they want to put up clips 

of music for people to listen to.


On regular html, I've done this before, but I was wondering if there 

is a way to have a list of songs/clips ready to play that would load 

and stream them without creating the huge file that would occur if I 

had all music clips load with the Flash.swf.


Also, I was wondering if there would be a way to blend .swf's with 

invisible frames:

Here's my thought:

The left side of the page would be a Site Movie, and the right frame 

would be a list of clips that would perhaps load levels...


OR


The left side buttons would actually load .swfs into the right frame.


If each music clip is 108 k after export in MP3, and I have 15 clips, 

I want to avoid  a 2 meg download before clips are available..



Any suggestions?


Thanks,


Jeff
