Q11. How can i make my Flash projector load faster and run smoother from a CD?

Make a blank movie with the same background color and dimensions as your main movie. There's just one frame and it has this action:

loadMovieNum("support/main.swf", 0);
stop();
// Main.swf being the real movie.

Publish this as a projector, and then have your main movie in a subdirectory ("support" in this case") to load in.

You do this to get the movie to load faster, as the movie will stream off the CD rather than load all at once.

Make sure your getURL actions have a target like _blank. This will help from locking up the player or your viewers computer, and it's a smooth thing to do regardless.
