    preload flash file in html

    DC_Eric2 Community Member

      I have an intro page that allows users to enter either a high bandwidth (flash) version of the site or a low bandwidth (html) version of the site.

      The flash has a preloader but it is still quite long for some to load. I was wondering if it is possible and what the best way to have the swf file load behind the scenes on the intro page so that when the use clicks the high bandwidth enterance the swf is already loaded or mostly loaded.

          You may be able to preload the Flash file the same way you preload an image file, though I don't kknow that it's ever been proven to me that it indeed works.  If your Flash preloader uses a progress event to display its downloading progress you may need to change it a bit in the event the file is able to download completely.  The progress event won't occur idf the downloading is complete.
