using flash for large selection program... can it be done?!?!?

[Guest_imported]

Hi! I'm designing and in the process of putting together a kind of program which enables the user to be able to move freely within it and make whatever choices they wish. Thing is, because it's so flexible and interconnected... there are a huge amount of variables, scenes and imported objects... as all my images are vector based and imported from Freehand. I need to find a way to smoothly run from one to another, onscreen. It's going to be web based, so it needs to be speedy as well as interactive. Can anyone help me!?!??! Should I break the files up into separate movies, add a get or tell target and on press, get the other movie to play... or is there a nice and easy way to decrease file size, like a nice purge of library or history or something!?!??!? Thing is, I don't want a spearate browser window to open for each one?!??! HELP!!!!!! Thanks a million, Cal

You should separate your sections into different .swf files. Then you can always call them from your main movie at a different level and control the whole thing with actionscript. Your different sections can even have a separate loading animation so it looks like they load from the same movie.

I think that only the France section works right now.

Good luck/
