Re: FLASH: caching in Flash

[Michael Kay]

One Flash movie has no way of sharing a symbol or scene with another. But I

believe that pre-loading an entire movie into cache and later loading the

same exact movie again will achieve what you want since the browser cache

treats a .swf file the same as an image.
