Re: FLASH: Question about Load Movie and Tell Target

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Judy,

	I use two criteria to decide whether to use load movie or tell target.


	Tell Target has the advantage to keeping an entire  project in on neat

package and is my preferred method unless the file size is really huge

or I need ease of editing on a site that may have to evolve frequently.


	On a site that has to be fairly large, I tend to use load movie. I

break the content up into multiple movies and load them as their content

is requested by a visitor. If the visitor to the site is going to go to

one area and not another, I would rather save them the download time for

things they are not going to see. Additionally, this can make edits and

changes to a section of a site easier and faster. so if I need ease of

editing and to keep the download times under a certain length I use Load

movie.
