I did that and it opened in the Flash Player but it was just a white blank
movie - I think cwdjrxyz is correct when he says the media itself does not
get cached only a small buffer is cached - the file controller.swf is only
60K! But that theory can't be correct because the Flash movie plays fine in
the browser after I have disconnected from the internet so it must now be
playing locally from my computer isn't it?
