Hi, the first frame of my fla is mysteriously large. 128k needs to download before the preloading starts. The only thing on the first frame is the preloading script, and then one static text box, and one 4k png. I can’t figure it out.:esmirk:

Are you using components or exporting something on 1st frame? (right click your library itens, linkage)

I’m not using components, but I have 12 items in the library associated with the linkage thing.

If those itens are exported in first frame they will cause a load delay as the movie starts.

Everything that’s imported in the first frame loads before the first frame. To solve that “problem” (which is not, properly speaking, a problem), you can load your movie in a container movie, or not export in the first frame (if you do that, you’ll have to put the symbol somewhere on the scene before you can attach them).

:tie: What would be the easiest solution? Loading into a container movie (what is this?), or not exporting in first frame.

I’m exporting an MC to be duplicated several times to be used as the navigation, and 12-15 images and associated text that will be used as tooltips throughout the fla.
