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

click on “Advanced Flash Preloader”
this should cure your problem 🙂

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
```auto
my_snd = new Sound(this);
```
?
