Re: FLASH: Multiload .swf w/o Java?

[Michael@BTW]

Trouble with pre-laoding an MC is that they don't stream in, so if you

pre-load a 100k MC, it will interupt the rest of anything your streaming in.

A better way, IMO, is to design the swfs to be loaded so they have empty

frames at the start with a stop action, then you can use load movie at an

appropriate place in your data stream, the loaded movie will begin to stream

in at its data rate, but won't show up until you tell target it to go to a

frame with content in it.
