managing multiple .swfs

[g8z]

I'm creating a system that will load multiple (up to 30) .swf files depending on what buttons/actions are triggered. For a project like this, would it be better to switch to Macromedia Director or some other Flash-creation platform?

My Flash Authoring environment (the one from Macromedia) seems to slow to a crawl when it tries to juggle this many swf files.

director for sure if its a cd but for the web flash as few people have the director plug in.

flash does sometimes crawl in authoring if you have been using it for a while and have an older machine or too little memory available for flash. flash takes 75 MB (i think) by default. you could try increasing the memory available to flash or add more ram.

best test though is to publish and see then if time it takes is unacceptable.
