Hi,

I’m developing a map system based on a 20x20 matrix. Only one cell is shown at the same time, and the movement across the map is performed using 4 direction arrows. Each cell is a SWF (30KB+/-) loaded into a different MovieClip. Because of the huge size of the entire map, this is gradually loaded as you’re moving in each direction, but this has a problem. At the same time the user is moving from one cell to other, the application preloads the 3 or 4 four cells that will be shown later. When those preloaded cells are attached to the big map, the movement of the map stops for a while and then it moves again. I don´t know how to avoid this stop, doing a preload in parallel with the movement.

I have tried using loadMovie, loadClip,…for each map cell any ideas??  
Is there any way to execute in parallel that prealoading?

thank you!!!
