That really helped me a lot Grant, thank you very much, that´s something I hadn´t thought of before.
Just a final question: You said the asset manager would load any assets, on demand, but lets say I would like to "cache" an asset, I don´t see a way to do it with flash other than loading them into "dummy" hidden clips while I don´t need them and them they would be avaiable at the Player cache after that. Is that the right way to do it? Thanks again for your help, - Marcelo.
