Preloader

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I am seeking those possessing knowledge rearding loading swf files into a movie. My objective is to know why the movie dose
not detect the file size of the swf file. The movie
detects only the content not being loaded.

How do I get the movie to detect swf file size being loaded external to the movie, and add the external file size to the existing content of the movie?


The problem is related to the streamed information prior to illustrating the movie. Note if I add the content of the swf into a blank movieclip on the primary movie's timeline it dose detect the
total content size, but it increases my first frame to load to 128 kb prior to entering the first frame. This response will render a user employing a 56k modem to wait a significant extent of time prior to movie rendering. Therefore if someone can provide me with information tp reduce the first frame size or to load the swf and the movie detects the size of the movie and adds it to the movie content, therefore, increasing the movies kb to be obtained.

PERSERE IN MIND THAT I AM EMPLOYING FLASH 5

A preloader of a main movie doesn't take into account loadMovie actions or the size of these to be loaded movies, unless you specificly code it to actually preload the movie.

So tell me how to tell the movie to preload the swf file.

Then you'll end up with your other problem, which is that a slow connected user will have to wait that much more time for the movie to start playing.
If that's what you want, might as well turn your loaded external movie into a movie clip within your main movie. Then it will load along with your main movie.
