export for actionscript

[lisadetroit]

Can anyone point me to a tutorial about optimizing movies?

I have a movie that loads movie clips from the library that are exported for actionscript. If I check export on first frame the movie takes forever to load (and takes place on first frame before the loading sequence). If I uncheck it the movie loads quickly but the clips aren't available when called for several minutes.

What is the proper way to do this?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The movie will take forever to load because you have a lot to load. If you want to make it load after the loading sequence, you will have to uncheck the first frame option and manually include those symbols somewhere in the movie yourself to make sure Flash includes them - even if they are never seen.
