It seems that there are 2 options to build a site

option 1 : 1 main swf containing on the main stage many mcs  
option 2 : 1 swf calling other swfs as for example  
Let’s say that I have as first a swf called [COLOR=green]intro.swf[/COLOR] ( with an animation and embedded in Html)with a button ENTER that calls itself my main menu swf called [COLOR=green]menu.swf[/COLOR] through loadMovie function.  
Each button of this menu will call again with loadMovie 5 different swfs.  
SCHEMA  
[SIZE=1] Intro.swf  
|  
Menu.swf  
/ / | \   
partie1.swf partie2.swf partie3.swf partie4.swf partie5.swf[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][/SIZE]  
First question : what’s the optimal way ?  
Second question : for the option 2 do I have to have a preloader for each loaded swf ?  
Thank you.
