Say I load a movie clip “ball.swf”, and I attach it to the scene. But then I change root frames, and need to reattach it (I DON’T WANT IT TO REDOWNLOAD!) and it needs to be external, any ideas?

Will the browser cache it, so it doesn’t have to be redownloaded, when you call it to be attached?

Thanks,  
Arun.

I tried asking on [Actionscript.org](http://Actionscript.org), but no one knew. Hopefully :sen: reads this thread. :bu:
