Sometimes, your game might contain chunks of information that are too much to handle on your user 's computeryou do not want this. This would then be a case when you would use the Bandwidth Profiler to smooth the streaming of your movie. The Profiler allows you to monitor download speeds and congestion through the movie. It even neatly charts where the bulk of the data lies within the file. Take a look at Figure 14.3, which shows you a sample screen when using the Profiler.
