loadMovieNum - Background loading

Hello,

I am doing a presentation that consists of 12 slides.

There are 5 slides with video embedded in it. As a result swf file size is more than 4 mb for these 5 slides consisting of video. I didn’t choose Flash communication Server to stream video to cut down the cost. So I have embeded video into flash file.

Since it was taking long time to download these movies, I came up with a solution of loading 11 slides at the time of playing 1st slide. With this I am able to cut down 40% of download time.

Its working fine with Windows. Occassinaly it doesn’t show preloaders.

Problem with Macintosh is that its playing only after downloading all the files.

I am using the following script screen in the first slide for background downloading in different levels.

loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide2.swf”, 23);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide3.swf”, 24);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide4.swf”, 29);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide5.swf”, 28);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide6.swf”, 27);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide7.swf”, 26);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide8.swf”, 25);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide9.swf”, 22);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide10.swf”, 21);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide11.swf”, 20);
loadMovieNum(“swfs/slide12.swf”, 19);

Can you please suggest the way to go for it? Please let me know if my problem is not clear.
