ok, there is no great solution to do what you want to do (as far as I've seen).
You can preload your movie with the script I passed and tell it to play once 15% is loaded. However, if it starts to play, the rest of the movie, that needs loading, is dependent on the users processor. you could run into trouble this way.
I would suggest preloading the whole thing (If your user needs this, they'll wait) perhaps making an interesting or useful preloader.
Or, you could divide the movie into seperate sfws, preloading them at different times as per your needs.
Or, you could break into sections and perhaps give the user the option to preload the whole movie and watch it, or preload asection ad watch it.
Of course this is all dependent on thecontent, but these are my suggestions. If you preload a small portion of the movie and begin to play it, if it gets to parts that aren't loaded and plays, its going to get slow and glitchy.
