Ive been asked to add a ‘games feature’ to a friends website. The ‘feature’ is fantastic, was on a Sunday Times CD and they can purchase the rights to use it.

However its HUGE and uses many linked swf’s.

Simple to preload the first movie, but for all the linked swfs?

first thoughts are adding a prototype ‘preload’ to loadmovie - is this possible?
