flash web page long question

[apeitup]

Ok I have been building my flash ebsite in one file. But as you can imagine the file size is getting on the larg size. So on to my question


What is the format for using several .swf file in web site.

As it stands I can access all scenes and timeline within my long file. (using the gotoAndPlay("home", frame) ect.

I don't seem to be able to get to and from another .swf movie.

Here is an example of a button that I am trying to do.


on (press) {
gotoAndPlay( "home", 18);
}

"home" is the scene name , frame "18" the .swf file is called "animindex2.swf"

The button being pressed is in "gallery.swf",scene "galler2", frame "1",

If you can give me an exaple using these details I will be able to understand it better, also if you know of a good tutorial that will help with this it would be greatly appretiated. Oh and what would you say is the optimal file size.


I did say it was a long question!

Best Regards

I think you want to learn how to use loadMovie- its where your elements are made up from different swfs which can then be loaded at your discretion - either by a frame action or button action , etc.
