1 Frame Movieclips / SWFs

[sophistikat]

hello everyone,
if you load external swf files that contain one frame and no stop(); action; will flash loop that one frame?
i know flash loops a two frame swf if the action stop(); on frame 2 is not there so what does flash do when its only one frame?

whats word?

/*
I'm trying to optomize my game as much as posible, i have about 50 swfs with one frame and i started to thinking....
is flash doing more than it has to when i'm using these 50 swfs? is it affecting the speed of the overall game?
*/

easy to test: make a 1 frame swf with a trace("youhou"); and test it...
is it traced continuously or just once ?...
once. And you have your answer...

might take less time to test than ask for that kind of questions...
