RE: FLASH: Load Movie Pre-loader.

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

One idea is to make the navigational choices appear only as each one has 

its associated sound loaded, or to have two instances of each button -- one 

that triggers the sound, the other that has no sound -- so that the sound 

isn't called until it's loaded.


BTW, you should set the rollover sounds to "start" rather than event, so 

they don't pile up with rapid repeat rollovers. Better yet, include a "stop 

all sounds" first, then start the sound you want.


I think your sound quality may be higher than necessary. More crunching 

would help reduce load time (obviously!).
