This is not necessary if you find out how the content streams. Use Test

Movie and Bandwidth Profiler to get a good idea which parts of the movie

are bandwidth intensive.  You should always be able to get your Flash movie

rolling before it's 100% downloaded, usually much sooner. Buy time by

putting the more efficient content (that which requires less bandwidth) up

front.


The structure you described sounds fine. Nevertheless, I think that as you

get comfortable with movie clips and TellTarget you will find them

preferable to a linear layout using scenes.
