Library Linkages & Download

[Obigobi]

Hey everyone!

I'm uncertain about a thing and thought I'd just drop by and ask
you guys.... here goes:
I want to measure the download-speed of my clients. I got a script
from someone else which basically loads a linked component from
the library via "attachMovie". Now, what I can't remember - are linked
clips or components downloaded into the first frame or will they be
downloaded only when a script attaches them?
If they are loaded with the movie, then the whole attach-and-measure-
time-thing doesn't seem to be making any sense.
I used the bandwidth profiler with llloooooowwwww settings, which has
no effect on loading the component - it gets loaded instantly, as though
it was loaded into frame 1...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

To answer my own question and rediscover something I already knew:
In the linkage display box you can check export to first frame... I think
that kinda answers it... In this example that I have, this box is checked...
which renders the whole idea useless.... hmmm....
Still, anybody... did I miss something?

Any download speed detection script remains an approximation... But the following is the best and more reliable one I have ever found...
