Re: FLASH: Preloader Help

[John Cocktosten]

Thanks for the quick response. That sounds like a good suggestion. I am 

using several screen shots in this presentation and they are in the PNG 

format and ARE NOT symbols. If I throw these in the preloader, will they 

have to be redrawn when Flash encounters them later in the movie? I know 

that once a symbol is loaded it can be accessed quickly after that, but what 

about a non-symbol, does this still hold true?


Thanks again.

John
