I would like to do some homework, but not sure where to start to get the
best answer.

Situation:
Flash MX, AS, OSX 10.4.2
 loading multiple SWFs in sequence as user demand, each SWF containing about
10-15 jpgs (436x327), nothing fancy

Each SWF is the same, just different folder level, where I use loadMovie>10
clips, then swapDepths+alpha from 100 to 0 for transitions.


-?-simple preloader
-?-benefits of offscreen or mc._visible = false
-?-backward compatible to player 5 if possible

-?-Does setMask() speed up or slow down showing jpgs

-?-Need to read about caching.  Safari activity window shows that browser
cache does not seem to be used. Same jpg file name creates a fresh download
event.  Example: same jpg name for all 10 loadMovie() = 10 downloads.

-?-I assume that FlashPlayer 8 is required for PNGs, etc to be used by
loadMovie.  Is that correct?

Thanks for saving me some precious development time this week.  Very tight
schedule.
