I'm trying to optimize loading of the three main swf files. There are three files that range from 600k to 800k. Currently the main .swf file does a load command on the three files that are structured the same, and one smaller swf. The load command for each pulls the external .swf files into their own movie clips that sit off to the side. Then when a user asks for those movie clips, the _y value is changed and the clip appears. Sometimes the clip is still loading and such.
However, the system above seems to be very shoddy and inconsistent. In fact, many times the files don't work at all. I'm getting grey screens right now on my server. On my hard drive, they're usually there. So I'm not sure if there's only a certain amount of loading that Flash likes to do at a time. Or something about having the load command for four movies in one file. However, thing to note is that the fourth, small movie always comes up. So, I'm wondering if it's related to something in the movie files.
Any thoughts?

I suggest you try to optimise those files and lower the filesize. 800k! That's massive for a flashfile. I don't think I've ever gone over 250k....ever, so I can't really offer a solution. Try maybe breaking up the files in each individual swf to load in as seperate swf's themselves. If you have loads of pics, optimise them in Fireworks or some other prog.
Good luck
