Back
I am a student at the SigEx Foundry working on several Flash optimization
technics for a
project for SigEx Ventures. They involve both Flash design and Actionscript. I
hav many areas
to investigate and will seperate discussions in different threads.
This one is about Preloading Flash Movies.
My Flash application loads a big list of swfs in order to make them available
quickly when the
user needs them. I do all the preloading a the beginning. It seems to hit the
performance of
other active movie clips such as an FLV video playing while I am loading.
Should I load all the
apps at the same time or one after the other ? Any suggestion ?
Any help would be appreciated
