Ok, my question might look odd or stupid, but I have to ask.
I have a pattern made of little boxes, each one being a MC that loads an external SWF file. There’s a little preloader in each little box.
Now, once a swf is loaded, I want to be able to re-use it in other parts of the flash file, without having to reload it all over again. For example, one of the little boxes loads a picture of a donkey. Now if the user clicks the donkey box, the box scales up and displays the donkey. But there’s a dozen other boxes that can display the same donkey, or maybe I want to use the donkey later on in the flash file.
Basically, my question is: once an external file has been loaded, and I load it again, do flash reloads the file all over again or will it just use the one which is already loaded? and if not, how do I tell him to use the one already loaded?
I’m sorry if it’s not clear but it is kind of hard explaining my problem with my poor English skills.
And I read http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251216, but it didn’t really help me since my problem is a little different.
