Hey All, hopefully someone can help me. I’m designing a website which has one main MC in the timeline. This main MC totals about 650 frames with text and pictures for each page (65 pages) This when published into a .swf, was 172KB. However, the download time was huge, almost 45 seconds. The intro page works fine, which I then use a loadMovie to bring in the main .swf with navigation bar, etc. So, I took this large .swf and split it into 3 smaller .swf’s, 50, 111 and 85KB, for each. Now when live online, this too, seems too large and almost 30 seconds to download.

Any suggestions, can I optimize in any way or should I just again split the 3 movies into maybe, 5 movies? What is the ‘best’ size for each .swf that will be published online? You can see the link yourself at [www.erfanidmd.com](http://www.erfanidmd.com).

thanks, dave. :phil:
