let’s say that i’ve got the same swf file in 2 webpages. in the first page, the flash file shows the preloader and there he goes, after 100% the film starts. but in the second page, when i enter, the same movie loads again.

how can i tell flash or the webpage or whoever to load the same movie from windows/temporary internet files, if the files allready exists, thus skipping the unusefull and time-consuming loading?

i’ve got an example on [www.alohaarts.as.ro](http://www.alohaarts.as.ro)

now the main problem is: if the same swf has already been loaded in the first page, why should’nt it be loaded from windows/temporary internet files, if the file is already there?

thankyou.
