Subject: RE: FLASH: loading time question

You're right Brian... but a couple more points: if you keep the items in
your own .swf that is loaded with "loadMovie", it will also recycle (from
the browser's cache). The reason to consider this method is that shared
library items (or, I should say, items with linkage) will download before
the first frame. This can be a drag because you can't override this to
purposely start downloading items when you say (the way you can with "load
movie").

Back to the original question... put any repeated content in ONE library (or
.swf) only.
