Assigning Actions Withing a MovieClip

[RedWombat]

Hey guys. I've been watching this thread. Some good points.

Availor, a 20 frame Intro say set at the default 12 fps will complete in less than 2 seconds. I don't how large your final movie will be in megabytes, you mention 1 mb, but 2 seconds isn't long enough to download that. You'll probably want a preloader, especially if someone is on a dial-up connection.

On another note, as something to consider, using MC's as Buttons. I've done this several times and it's nice because I can have more states than a button's three.

I use MC as buttons, moreover, I use a SINGLE symbol for almost all buttons.
I do it the following way: Instead of duplicating various buttons (for example I want different button sizes and colors) I create a transparent button which changes color on over, down sate. Then I just lay my content underneath it. This way I use only one symbol for all my buttons.

When someone uses a loadMovie, should he unload it later on, or keep it loaded and load another one on top of it instead?

My understanding of the situation would be once a movie is loaded it is stored on the visitors computers cache and is therefore immeadiatly available numerous times.
