The download time for the movie itself to start is reduced, obviously everything still needs to download, but in the sense where I don't need the image right away in the movie its swell.

CSS solution: Put the flash movie into a div, then set the big background image you'd use for the movie as the background image on the div. Bang! Flash movie much smaller, loads much faster, big image cached, everyone's happy.
 Any thoughts?


Nice, but usually Flash can crush an image down smaller than say ImageReady/PS. Yes, it adds to the swf, but are you really saving any download time?
