Hi Micky, if you want to spread the load across time, the best approach is to have 36 .swf files that you load one at a time. To perform the loading you should use the MovieClipLoader (look it up on HYPERLINK "http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.h tm?href=00002538.html"livedocs or just HYPERLINK "http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=MovieClipLoader&meta="google) And of course there are many preloaders out there that can speed up the process as well.
With that you'll be on your way in no time ! HTH !

Best way to do this? Hello, Here is the scoop: I have 36 movie clips in my library that get placed on stage via actionscript... Long story short, I would like to load each clip one at a time, for example: movie_clip-01 fully loads and animates into position, then movie_clip-02 loads and animates into position, (...), and finally movie_clip-36 loads and animates into position. Basically, I want to break-up the load across time, vs. doing it all at the beginning. Just wondering if the above idea makes sense? Is it standard to do that type of loading from the library at runtime, or should I be working with 36 external swf files? Anyone seen any tutorials and/or example files on the web that cover this type of loading? Any tips/suggestions/links/rtfm's (with page #) ya'll can send my way would be kick-butt! :) Sorry if noob question... I am just now getting back into Flash after a 2-year hiatus. Many thanks in advance.
