Re: FLASH: preloading a flash/html hybrid MC

[derrickito]

if you have multiple frames all needing preloaders.. you should seriously

look at your file sizes and ask yourself if you are overloading the user

with too much info.. when i use multible frames with flash in a few of them,

usually one would be a nav and another content etc.... if my nav is so big

that it needs a preloader, its usually time to redo your nav, thats a clue

that its too big


preloaders in my opinion really suck, flash is streaming, and info should be

optimized for that, its being misused in my opinion when you cram so much

info in there that you need a 1 minute preloader.

heres an example of a great flasher that has up a awesome site teaser all

done in flash, NO PRELOADER, and it goes on forever, that is a goal to

strive for..


i know i didnt explain or help you there, but thought it was a topic that

could use a little info to think on:)


x dude rocks


later
