Thanks a lot, Ian ... not sure that will handle it, but it's worth a shot. Still open for more suggestions if anyone's got 'em!

Here's John Pollock's reply to my request that a preload function be places on PageResource.com:

The hidden frame seemed like a good idea, except the flash file has sound in it, so you'd hear it! Also, it would probably be killing twice the processor power, as I guess the shockwave player would continue to work, not knowing it was hidden.

You could use a hidden frame.

Theres a JavaScript method/functions/whatever that pre-loads images...You might be able to tweak that to load a shockwave file. I e-mail John Pollock (www.PageResource.com) to post it on his site, but he hasn't replied yet (it's only been a day though.) So, hopefully he'll post that in the JavaScript tutorials section of his page.
