Hi Al,

Keep in mind, that sometimes it doesn't matter how large they are because

certain ones can be streamed @28.8


Check out http://www.webstaffing.net/index2.html


One you get into space, click the "web-based training" icon, and run the

presentation.

It's a loaded movie.  The sound file is an aiff, and *over 3 minutes long*.

It's about 500k.

But the sound stream stays about 50 frames ahead with a clean 28.8

connection, even though there's a long animation going on as well as a

slide show MC.  So in this case it wouldn't matter if the clip was 10 min.

long or whatever.


The sound quality is not the best, but it's passible considering what's

going on here.  Note that the type of music lends itself well to high

compression flash settings. I supprised that I could get flash to do this

at all.
