Re: FLASH: Streaming Load Movie actions

[Michael Penne]

Using your bandwidth profiler, determine when

your initial movie has been fully loaded. At this

point, you can begin to load your second movie.

Insert new frames into the start of the second

movie and place the larger components of the

second movie _off stage_ in these new frames.

This will allow flash to begin to load the main

components of your second movie before the first

movie has ended. At the end of the first movie,

you can then (using tell target) instruct the

second movie to go to the first frame with all

the components in their proper places. Depending

on the size of these components, you may want to

loop or pause the first movie until a selected

frame of the second movie has loaded.
