QuickTime Preload

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get a QuickTme movie to display a loading progress bar? When I go to my QT movie it loads but you only see the QT icon as the movie loads. I want the user to be able to see the movie loading by viewing the progress bar.

Thanks Sledger, but what I really mean is a preload bar or something like this :

I've never seen that for QT. I don't think it's even possible with the Apple QT player plug in (which controls all that stuff) because it's not flash video.

This might be the best place for information about dealing with QT in web pages.
