Subject: Movie Structure : Loading MC's in background?
From: Bawol, Brian

Hello All,
I have a question regarding multiple MC's being used in a website.
It is for a photography site with approximately 5 sections (each section is
a collection of photographs). As of right now I have it loading the "main"
movie which includes nothing more than the menu and some text, when you
click on a section it loads a new .swf (section) into an existing blank MC
(this works great, except they have to wait for yet _another_ clip to load
now).

What I'm wondering is if there is a way that the main movie can load up so
they can start reading it, but in the background one (or multiple)
"sections" will load without the user noticing?

Right now I have it set up so when the user clicks on a section, I have a
status indicator show while the section loads. Unfortunately you have to go
through this 5 times if you want to view all the sections, is there any way
I can load MC's in the background throughout their duration on the site?

Thank you!
