Hi,

My menus on my site are swf’s that are loaded into the main swf when the appropriate button is clicked. However there can be a slightly ‘uncomfortable’ delay before a menu swf loads in. THey are quite small files and I want to keep them seperate from the main swf for an easier update,

so my question is, how can I preload all my menu swf’s into my main site before the main site loads in? I have tried loading into empty ‘holder’ swf’s but this went really quite wrong.

Any ideas would be great!
