does anyone know how I can preload an external swf into cache.
if you go to www.flirtallday.net and click the 3dr link down ( the renault car ) it takes ages for the 2mb baner to load. I would ideally like it to have preloaded into cache before you click on the link so you do not have to wait for load.
I have done loadMovie into movie clip and then made the movie clip transparent, but this causes some issues as it seems the banner is playing twice and there is some conflict
any ideas please?

create the clip so that it stops at frame one or something, and then when you need it, make it go to frame 2 where all the content is?
Loads of ways to do this... and depends on how you're building your stuff

or load it into an mclip off canvas or with an opacity of 0.

I would suggest you use the BulkLoader class (http://code.google.com/p/bulk-l... This should solve some issues as you'll be able to set a priority on some assets over others hopefully using the same principle as setting the alpha to 0 but maybe you should set the visible to false and initiating the visible when its needed ( such as the user click ) Hope this helps
