RE: FLASH: Streaming Load Movie actions

[John Leach]

hmmm, I understand this concept, but what I am worried about is wether flash

will start downloading the second movie whilst playing the first, or wether

it waits until the LoadMovie action is actually executed to start

downloading the data.


the bandwidth profiler doesn't show a size spike at the end of the movie so

I assume it does.

I guess one way to check is for me to upload the lot to a webserver and

check it over my modem, but I wanted a more informative approach, rather

than suck it and see.


thanks again in advance.
