Thanks Mark. That seems to make sense. I'll look around for the code. - MM
The wait you're seeing isn't the XML file loading, it's Flash parsing the XML. I'm guessing it's pretty large. You see "Start A". You begin the XML load. You see "Start B". The XML finishes loading. Flash starts parsing the XML into an XML object. ...this takes a while, and Flash is so busy it can't fire off setIntervals... Eventually Flash gets the onLoad from the XML. You can make your own custom XML parser that breaks things up over a few frames as needed. There's code for it floating around on the net. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
