Loading scenes independantly

Ive got a site that I have created using one .fla file.

The published .swf file is around 650kb which takes a long time to view on a normal modem!

Is there any way which I can load the first page and then only load the others when the corresponding link is clicked?

cheers for any feedback!:s:

yes, that’s how most sites function today: they create the main movie, independant of any of the other sections, then they just create the other sections independantly as well. The key to being able to do this is the function loadMovie (you can look it up in the help files to see how it works and what its parameters are).

when using this, there are some things to keep in mind:
when you load a movie into another one, the background of the loaded movie will be transparent, so keep to one background color. Similarly, the frame rate of the loaded movie will be the same as the main movie it’s loaded on so be sure to keep that consistent as well.

That should get you started. if you have any further questions, be sure to reply.

cheers, ill try that see what happens!

p.s. your site is ok with me!!!=)

hmmm, ok

So I’ve got one file which I want opening initially called “index_intro.swf”

This has a button on it which I want to open the file “index_main.swf”

In the actions for this button I have entered thie code

on(release)
loadMovieNum(“index_main.swf”, 0);

I have put them both in the same htdocs folder. but when ive published and uploaded these pages the message
“directory listing denied. This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.” comes up on the site!

can you help me?
