Description

Request Functionality

Use Case:

I am preloading resources (images, videos, sounds and text) of a pure Flash site in the background.
When a user visited the only video page of this site, but is switching to another page that includes big images not being preloaded yet, the video will continue to load in the background, slowing the response of the user requested page.
Hence I want to pause the video download and continue it later in the background.
