Loading external images or movies????

[Lennart1968]

Hi

Have finnished my portfolio showing off al my projects.
But all together it more than 900 kb whitch i find too big.
I have a menu and each button shovs a little movie (inctanse) where I have 1-7 "pages".
Altogether I'm using maybe about 50 images.
Anyone know if its easy to load each movieinstance externally?
Have seen a lots of flash sites doing that.
Is that like really hard to fix.
Dont know too mush actionscripting but some.
Anoyone have an advice on this?

Hears a little loadMovie tutorial I put up. It's a pretty easy read, and very easy to do.

Fow what you want to do, you'll need to place all your images in separate new movies, then load the swf's to the main movie interface. You might want to break them down even smaller than 7 images to a movie, to load faster. Or, if they are non-progressive jpg's, just load them alone, which MX can do as easily as loading a swf.

There's a nice little faq on it here.
