Obviously, selecting a higher compression or lower quality would decrease the file size. With flash, you are also able to create "loading" screens (not sure of the exact link- will post it when I return home... or perhaps someone else knows) so the user will have something to look at when the presentation is loading.</p> <p>Additionally, the good thing about flash is that it can start playing before it has completely loaded... so visitors can see the presentation as it loads for them. Since you're just displaying a story, this method should work fine.</p> <p>Good luck,</p> <p>Brian</p> Thu, 03 Jan 2002 04:31:55 +0000 Brian Farkas comment 1097508 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
