Help!
We are bulding a file wich will become rather large. This because of the music and pictures etc. We are talking 500kb pluss
I know flash is streaming the frames in some way, accroding to Macromedia its frame by frame.
So is there any point in having to load different sections with actionscript to make the size of the main file smaller? I thought of having one main file, and then load content in to that with ActionScript in order to minimize the size.
If Flash is stremaing frame by frame, this seems unimportant.
Any thoughts?
Second thing - we have a big soundfile we need to use (300 kb..!!) - don't ask why:) This is going to be in the intro - and will only be used once if you dont skip the intro.
I just wanted to make some animation while the user waits. Have seen some preloader tutorials, is this the way of doing it? Don't supppose flash will stream the sound at all? (it is 45 seconds in length - mp3 60kbs format - 44khz) I'm probably stuck with that sound format.
So:
- any point in loading scenes with actions script?
- Preloader - what is the point? Is it the way?
Please help fast....:)
