RE: Need an advice ... BIG DILEMA !!!!!

[Oliverko]

Hi there Flash masters,

I am as many times before turning to you with an appeal for help.
( I believe you give the right direction ) :-)


I am to make an product guide in flash MX.

This product animated guide will consist of let's say 8 steps
or movies each bearing a spoken comentar ( probably a mp3 file
format ). And here is the dilema that strikes me:

What is the best solution for longer step-by-step product
demonstrations: to construct a scene for each episode in one .swf?
or to construct for each episode its own .swf file?
( I hope you all got me here.... )

And one more question:

One way or another, I will definitelly want to preload all the scenes or separate movies at the very begining of the whole demonstartion ( inc. sound of course ). Can you give me a tip or trick
how to preload either scenes or swf movies?


Thanks a lot

ROBERT

As for download time it wont make any difference if you are going to preload every swf.

Is it not better for the customer to decide for themselves what to load, instead of waiting for maybe 7 demos they are not interested in, to load?

There are lot of preload flas in the movies section and tutorials in the tutorial section.
