FLASH: File size and music button ?

[Dennis A. Amith [kndy]]

To the Flash pro's in the ml,


I have a few beginner questions that perhaps someone can answer:


1)  I was wondering what is acceptable in terms of size for a flash page.

Is there a certain size that you believe never going over?

Is having an  *.swf file over 200 or 300k acceptable or unacceptable?  When

making a flash page, do you make your pages for those with 56k modems or

faster or do you consider the slower speeder modems as well?


2)  Does anyone know any newspaper or magazine publication sites created

entirely with Flash?


3)  When you have a button to stop the music from playing in the background

(and to replay it by another click), how do you do the following:


a)  In the actions, is it primarily:  press - > stop all sounds, press->

play

b)  I may have done it wrong but I made a stop/play music button (using the

action above) and with a quick press it will work.  But with a typical press

it will go to the preloader and back to the next scene.  I know I made a

fubar somewhere, thus I hope someone can help me out.

c)  I'm trying to do a button, similar to this Hilary Tsui page at:

If there is a web site that shows how to do something like this, please let

me know.  Any help appreciated.
