Loading large swf gets stuck

[friendlygiraffe]

I have a large swf (about 11mb). When loading it, half the time it gets stuck about half way.

This occurs when pointing my browser directly towards the raw swf, eg: mywebsite.com/myflash.swf

Could it be a problem with the server? or is the swf file just too big?

Thanks

The .swf depends on the user PC performance and there is no limits for the size. The reason could be server protection, that doesn`t allow loading files bigger than 1 or 2MBs (for example) . In my expirience with big flash websites - the solution is to make one main swf that loading the parts of the animation from other swf-s. (like: background.swf, car.swf, road.swf, man.swf).
