Preload video

I have a web page that has 4 very small video clips that appear in sequence with text. It runs great in my FP browser, but when I published it the video takes a second to download, so visitors see a small (.wmv) box. How can I preload these video files before the web page script starts up.
 
Define very small? Most video clips are huge in comparison to graphic images.

I'm not sure if you can create a preloader for video image files or not but I don't believe so as there is no object that can be
created for them dynamically.

Have you tried to google on "preload video"?

The .wmv files are about 200 KB each. The video works correctly in both the FP2003 preview browser (M.I.E. 6.0) and on my published web page. But, on the published web page, like I said it shows a small (.wmv) box for a split second before the video starts to play. It would be great if I can preload the video files before the web page loads. P.S. I am far from being a computer wiz :o) any suggestion are greatly appreciated, or if it is not possible at all
