Streaming is a great way to ease the user into a large Flash movie. You can use ActionScript to track the loading process. As a movie streams, you can hold the movie on the first frame and then let it continue when the entire movie has loaded.

You can also report to the user the progress of the loading. You can give them straight text feedback, or something a little more visual like a progress bar.

You can also divide your movie into several files and use loadMovie to jump from file to file as the user needs the content.

External files can be loaded into your movie using various methods . You can load Flash movies as movie clips. You can load external JPEG files and MP3 sounds too.
