[SIZE=2]Hi,

I have a website here in AS2 which has main .swf file and 8 sub .swf files which are loaded into a container depending on which button the user presses…

And I have a couple of question regarding those external sub .swf files: ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/1943/e479158fd6e0822f.gif)

1. First a general question: when a user loads the main .swf file and then decides to see 2-3 sub sections (loading those external sub swf files) do those sub .swf files remain on his HD while he’s looking into a different section of my page or are they loaded every time again ?

2. Is it possible to assign via actionscript to load ALL of those external sub .swf files quietly in the background already, so that when the user presses a button the files are already loaded and ready to go ?

Thanx for your help in advance !!
