    Question

    I am pretty new to Flash and am working on a large (about 2MG) Flash movie to help parents and students use a piece of software.

    I would like to know what is the best way to get the movie to playback (some of the screen grabs are about 150K)?

    Thanks for your help!!

    Is this for the web? if it is 2MEG is huge. I mean way huge. You will want to break this up into smaller potions for streaming. I would say 200 - 500 k chucks should do fine. You could get away with a small portion up front if there is a good bit of reading so the rest of the site downloads in the background. I would make the screen grabs load on demand so the people have a more natural web experience. Waiting is part of the web game. If you can get it all to stream and fall into place without breaking it up go for it but at 2megs I dont see that happening. Regards, Bill

    In the beginning the web was without shape and color, and the hype covered the darkness of the net. Then there was a Flash and life came to the web and vision became reality.
