Swfs not caching

1

Hi there

I’ve got several swf’s loading into my main movie and i want them to get cached so they don’t have to download again… but it’s not doing this automatically. Do i have to put omething in the meta tags on the html page?

Thanks x

swfs should always be cached regardless of how/where they’re loaded. what makes you think that they’re not being cached?

because i’ve got preloaders at the start of the movies which always come on… if the movies cached shouldn’t it load straight away without the preloade? Or am i bein daft?

well, the preloader will show up, but since the movie would be loaded, it would just fly through it.

You could test at the very begining of the movie

if (this.getBytesLoaded() >= this.getBytesTotal() && this.getBytesLoaded() > 0){
// skip preloader
}

The preloaders take just as long the second time you view the swf’s, that’s why i think they’re not being cached!
I agree they should be cached automatically, but they’re not???
