I am creating a fairly large product demo site.

I don’t want a viewer to sit there for an hour while the thing loads.

Question: Should I make about 4 or 5 (short) different .swf files and then onclick, play them??

When do they load?  
or should I make them so small that they do not have to load.

Is this the correct way of making a large scale movie??

I would appreciate some suggestions

Thanks

It is definately better to split them up into several SWF’s. And if you’re filesize is quite big, I highly suggest a preloader. Find a great one [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)
