The balance between load time and size of individual swf file is, for

me, the first factor I consider when deciding whether to make an

additional swf and do a load movie or a movie clip and do a Tell Target.

The other factor is how responsive I need the segment to be. If it needs

to have an immediate response, I use a movie clip within a swf. If it is

move navigational and the user would expect a bit of a lag, and then I

use a load movie with appropriate wait-for-frame animation.

	I think of the structure as a written word metaphor. Movie clips are

sentences, scenes are paragraphs, loaded movies are chapters and the

main controlling movie is the book.
