I am retro-fitting a 2 year old Flash 5 site. It has a preloader followed by an animation. I am now adding a music compilation to the intro and it is somewhat loosely timed to events in the animation.
The music compilation SWF (introsong.swf) is 5 layers of sounds and music which compacts to about 76K.
I am using:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“introsong.swf”);
in the main movie to load the sound. Obviously, the preloader doesn’t take care of the external SWF. My questions is this. How can I insure that the introsong.swf will always start with the main movie despite the visitors connection? Or can I? Or does it matter with 76K?
Right now everything is okay on DSL or broadband low-end connections. I don’t know many folks anymore with 56k modems so I cannot test this.
Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gazzer
