[SIZE=1]hey guys, i’m currently using loadMovie in all of my AS. The problem is i find myself going to and from .SWF’s quite often, with the system having to load the movie each time, it can cause quite a bit of waiting around for my site to load a page that was just loaded 2 minutes ago…

i was wondering if there was an alternative to loadMovie or a piece of code i could use to play the already loaded movie rather then having to load it each time.

something like this maybe?

if (mymovie.swf = hasBeenLoaded)  
{  
Play(mymovie.swf, 0);  
}  
else  
{  
loadMovie(myMovie.swf, 0)  
}

of course my code is horribly wrong 🙂  
but is there anything like that out there?
