Before you read this, yes I know it makes more sense to have the preloader just be a seperate scene to the webpage, I was just wondering if this is or isn't possible.

As of right now I have two completely seperate swf's. One is a preloader/enter button, and the other is my actual movie/webpage.

Is it possible to make the preloader download all of the information from the webpage, and not just the info from the preloader swf itself (only like 100k, pointless)?

Thanks so much guys.

Re-reading your question in this new thread, maybe it's possible. If you preload the video movie within the preloader movie (without having it play), then it would theoritically be in the user's cache, so when you actually load it at the end of your intro then it would instantly available.

Regards,
