If you load external images when they are to be displayed the will not put "weight" on the until that is current. And if someone chooses to end the course prematurely images used later in the course won't hit the bandwidth at all.
And finally when an image is loaded once, it should be in the browser cache. (Unless the user for some reason has turned it off). So they should only hit the bandwidth once and then never again. That is assuming the swf runs in a browser of course. But of course if the images are really simple it could be better to draw them using the drawing API. If not any dynamic creation of the images will probably create a higher payload then just loading the images on demand. /Johan -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Gaia-Tek Skickat: den 5 oktober 2006 09:26 Till: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Ämne: RE: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s Hi Jason, That was the initial understanding with which I entered the project, now they don't want to do that because of the server load and bandwidth if 200 learners access the course simultaneously... They want the learner to download the course in one go (a smaller swf hopefully), and then work through it at their own speed. Any ideas??

Then your .swf is 50k or less, not 6MB.
