RE: Wait for frame, waiting longer.

[Andrew Timberlake]

Hi Dave


Flash generates a text file which breaks down the order in which the movie

will load and what size is needed for each frame to play, Use this file to

break down the problem.


If you have no luck, you are welcome to email the text file to me and I'll

see if I can help.
