I’d like to use a large, high resolution photo for the backround of my flash site. However, I never see this done on Flash sites. Is it because an interface thats designed using a photograph instead of vector art is too big to opperate efficiently? Would there be really long delays?

it all depends on how big your image is in terms of kbs, but its very limiting if your gonna try and use a static photo for an interface but yes it can be done
