do you make seperate files so you can preload?

The last few times Ive made things in flash they havent been for the web and the only time I made a preloader was just to load a movie. I am making a website now and Ive forgotten the best workflow and way to structure it. Do you make seperate swf files for each part you want to load? You dont make everything in the same swf for websites that want to preload do you?

I would make seperate files and load them seperatly into the main file as the user clicks on them.

This keeps the size of the main file down.

Yes ok so its like I thought I guess.

Yes. you wanna try to keep the file size down just in case
( example)
someone clicks on about and doesnt want to see the video or contact

Good Luck
