This is kind of a continuation from my sound sync question yesterday. Since I have to sync sound without streaming the audio (forbidden by the server the project is going onto) and it is my understanding that Flash waits at frame one till everything is loaded…
How is the best way to know when a preloader is needed?
Personally I have never used a preloader—YET. I have a sneaky suspicion that i subject to change
Is there a “rule of thumb” size wise that I should consider?
Do I need to concern myself with a particular action-script to get the job done? The usual audio will vary between between 100kb & 2,000kb.
Prior to beginning this project we have used Flash only for short animations. Never anything large so we are trying to plan ahead.
Thank you for all your help!
Janet
