Flash loader for Embedded WMV files

How do I play a flash loader when waiting for a WMV embedded file to load and play?

I have a webpage with a streaming embedded WMV, and want a flash loader to play, below the movie, before the stream starts.

If your WMV is streaming doesn't it just begin to play when someone calls the page?
I mean, why do you need a loader for a streaming movie? To hide the initialising of Windows media Player?

Maybe i don't understand your question correctly. So please correct me if i don't.

A WMV streaming movie doesnt play straight away, it buffers first, which can take a fews seconds. The embedded movie plays for about a minute, and with no controls visible on the screen. I want the loader so the viewer can see something is happening, reather than what appears to be a frozen pc,  if the connection to the movie takes longer than expected to load.
