I'm working on a band's web site and as I look over the site on 56k connections. I have found that loading the files take longer then I like. The issue is that I have 5 swf files all load into the main swf file when the bottons are clicked. None of the files are over 80kb, So the site is not too heavy, yet I don't like the way I have it set up. I was looking over some other sites that I like here are a few. Wat I like is that it seems the whole web site loads at the first frame. Does any one know how this is done? All my swf files have pre loaders but I like how these sites just have one and it helps to make the rest of the pages load faster.

i cant tell how those sites work on a 56K modem, cause i dont have one, but im not seeing anything special there.
if youre working entirely in flash, this is pretty simple... build one low bandwidth splash page and preload the rest of the site.

your best bet is to seperate each page or scene into a seperate swf file. Then load the swfs dynamically off the server as needed. For example on my site www.gen6.net some of my pages are around 180kb so what i do is load the pages once the buttons are clicked using the loadMovie command. This avoids preloading an entire site when someone might be there to only few a certain portion of your site. hope this helps
