Allright I am working on Website right now, I just started it.

1. I want to know first if I can have the external swf files loading before I actually want them to play? (I wouldn’t even mind if I could preload a handful of em at the entry of a website and then have them ready when I need them.)

2. This may be a dumb question, I want to know if the preloader will load the all the frames for a movie with multiple scenes, or if I need to have a preloader for each scene?
