    I'm a rank beginner; done one simple and one complex movie to be loaded on different websites. We're getting browsers either refusing to load or taking way too long, even for the simple Flash intro. Do the preloads reduce this drammatically, or are there other things I should be looking into?
    Thanx in advance.

    Preloaders just engage the user with a simple (or complex, but low size) animation for the user to see/watch while the movie loads. They don't reduce size though. To reduce size, lower the JPG/BMP quality a bit, and also the sound quality. Stream sounds if possible (like a soundtrack), and also, try to use vector when possible (for the layout, etc...don't use vector for complex images).

    HTH.
