FLASH: Streaming Load Movie actions

[John Leach]

I'm new to the list as of a couple of hours ago, and with some of the

current posts I've seen so far I am carefully avoiding stepping on anybody's

toes, especially toes belonging to very frustrated-sounding articulate

people.


I have a big intro movie that has a nice preloader scene, that displays a

cute status bar and percent indicator, and it all works well and lovely.


at the end of the movie, there is a frame action to load in a menu system

(which is quite large in itself) and am wondering wether flash will begin to

download that movie whilst the current movie is playing (ala streaming) or

wait until the frame action is executed to start obtaining the daya (which

will result in a delay between movies, needing another loading movie).


If the latter is true, then does anyone have any ideas how to make flash

stream some the data?  Is the easiest way to combine the second movie with

the first in the form of a new scene in the first movie?


Thanks in Advance (*grin*)
