Ok.. But what if you have around 100-200 files, let's say external
JPG's. Wouldn't the zip file become huge?
The reason I'm asking is, I'm making a photographers portfolio where the
idea is to load thumbnails first - then start loading the high-res
pictures in the background.
I see your point. Loading the thumbnails in a zip is definetly better
than loading them individually..
In my case the thumbnails have to be loaded before the user is able
to interact with the site anyway.
Still, some kind of advanced background loading is what I'm looking
for, but that's
I just keep my own static Animation class handy, which simplifies the
tween and transition classes:
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
class com.boa.effects.Animate{
public static function fadeIn(clip:MovieClip,
time:Number):Object{
return

However, zipping thumbnails has the big advantage that you save a lot of
overhead. 200 successive GET requests are no fun. Loading a zip is way
faster as you only need to do one request to the server. And with FZip
you have access to files

.swf files that you load one at a time.
To perform the loading you should use the MovieClipLoader (look it up on

I've found that LoadQueueManager is excellent for loading multiple
external files in sequence.. It also gives you the possibility to
pause loading, rearrange loading order etc. etc.

Hi,
Great info all! Many thanks Andy, Alain, and Rasmus. I really appreciate
your time.
So, it sounds like the consensus is to externally load the clips...
Hehe, that makes a lot more sense. :)
@Andy: Thanks for example code. That actually looks like what I would
like to do... A few month back
