[F8] loading a site scene by scene

hello,

I'm trying to set up a flash website for the first time and I've run into a few problems. Basically my site seems to take ages to load when I preview it with my preloader despite the fact that I have kept files as small as possible. My only explanation is that the preloader laods the entire site at once so I was wondering if there is a way to load it one scene at a time? at the moment my loader finds the total size of the site and compares it to how much has been loaded so far. Is there a way to find out the total size of the first scene instead?

I hope this makes sense and any help on making my site smaller would also be appreciated.

Thank you!

Well, a way you could do it is seperate each scene into seperate swf files, then use _root.loadMovie('next_scene.swf') at the right moment, or load it in a movieclip from the start and then hide it, and show it when needed. If you didn't understand the above, e-mail me at [email protected]

I'm tired, so I can't think the best at the moment...
