A comprehensive loading scheme you desire is quite complex. II have a

partial tutorial started but not completed yet. The basic problem is

only the individual (load) movie can test its own loading progress

(using if frame is loaded). This means you need to set up a control

system, (usually in level zero that via Tell Target (back and forth),

tracks the loading progress of individual movies loaded by load movie.


For maximum efficiency, load only one movie at a time and always having

a movie loading. This should be combined with the possibility of total

random access whether a movie is loaded or not. Each movie should be on

its own Level and parked until needed.  If a movie is loading and

another is selected the one that was loading should be unloaded and the

selected one should be loaded.


Hopefully all the movies will stream fairly well, but preloading

prevents any Web hessitation from having any effect when movies are

loaded and parked.
