RE: FLASH: symbols and cache

[JGL]

-----Original Message-----

I have a link in one of my swf files and i was going

to link it to a new swf file but i need to use alot of

the same symbols over again.


Q.will these symbols have to be re-downloaded if it is

in a new swf file or are symbols cached.

A.swf's and all symbols have to be downloaded whether or not it was used in

another swf


Q.What would you do?

Make a new flash movie so it doesnt become to large or

keep adding scenes to your movie to be able to reuse symbols?

A.Entirely depends on the scope/size/functionality/purpose/ of the project .

. . One idea is to analyze if the frequently used symbols themselves

couldn't be seperate swf's


Q.Do You Yahoo!?

A.No
