I have a question about the LoadMovie function. I currently have a swf movie with buttons (loaded dynamically).

When you click on a button it loads a specific movie(.swf) into a specific MC holder on the stage.

When I try this on my computer (locally) it works perfectly and its obviously fast loading. But when I load it up onto the internet and I click on a button it takes forever (I mean forever) to load.

Does this often happen? I’m using Flash 8

The largest .swf file size is about 30KB, so they are very small in size.

Is there a way to do a sort of preload of the smaller swf’s while the main swf is preloading?

I would really appreciate some help!
