Hey everyone,
I am using the preLoadAssetManager from “[http://blog.greensock.com/preloadassetmanageras2/](http://blog.greensock.com/preloadassetmanageras2/)” to preload 14 FLVs which range from 500K to 4MB in size to the users cache. Some users have complained that when they try to play a video, the browser (IE 6 & Firefox on Windows) completely freezes and they have to close out out of the browser. So my question is: Can preloading too many assets cause the browser to freeze/crash?

if it eats up all the player memory/computer memory - it sure can… how much data is preloading? You should be good if the loading is sequencial (load things in order vs. all at once) - up to a number of MB. Using a 3rd party loader though - you’ll have to talk to them to see if it may be due to that component’s architecture.

Thanks for the quick reply. The preloader preloads the assets sequentially. Is there anything else that could cause the browser to crash. Basically when a person clicks on a link the video player loads a new video by telling the netstream object to play the new video. ie ns.play(“flv”). Is there anything I need to do with the ns object before i tell it to play a new flv?
