Flash's loading process

bep · 05-07-2001, 09:39 PM

Object X is a symbol in both scenes of a flash movie. The first scene is loaded (including X) over the web... When the second scene loads, will X be loaded over again, or retained from the first scene?

Thanks, and sorry for the "a train leaves from Cleavland" IQ test format of this post; Jesse's querry got me taking one! (keyword: MENSA)

As long as both scenes are part of the same Movie, the object will be loaded.

Objects are loaded sequentially. An object used in scene 1 will be retained and needn't be reloaded in scene 2.

Cheers

What about large file-sized objects used twice within the same scene? They are not loaded twice, but once and then simply repeated, right?

If you import a 100kB jpg into your library and use it on Frame 1 then again on Frame 50, it is still only loaded (downstream) once, although it might be loaded (from the library) more than once.

Cheers
