Preloader question

1

hi,

i have a single swf that preloads itself. the fla has 1 linked font in the library and 20 linked sound files in the library. the swf file is about 500 kb.

when i test it over the netowork the movie pops up way to late and the preloader is usually at 90%+. so i’m assuming that my font and sound files are not being loaded like i want them to.

what settings do i have to alter so that my font and sound files(the bulk of the swf), are properly loaded.

thanks

okay, i understand.

another question. i’d like to separate my preloader and content into different swfs so i don’t have to worry about the frame export settings.

however, my content swf has linked sounds and if i load that content swf into my preloader swf, the sounds will not work. is there any way around this?

Do you have a target on the Sound object, eg

my_snd = new Sound(this);

?

no, what will that accomplish?

Have you tried it?
