Hi gang!
I've got a flash file I built where there are scrolling images that fade in, scroll and fade out and this happens with three images...

However, I loaded the images inside the FLA and between the images, the tweens and the effects, the flash file gets pretty big and therefore takes a while to load when you first access the site.

It's not a type of animation that merits a pre-loader as it's more a "decoration" rather than a main feature on the site.

Just wondering if creating a flash file with some actionscript that calls images in a directory and accomplishes the same effect would render the file smaller in size and therefore load faster?

Is this possible? Anyone out there can help me with the actionscript?

It will definitely make the swf size smaller, and so speed up the loading of the swf. It will be faster than what you have at this moment, because you will be loading each image separately. And you only load the image when the previous image is nearly finished showing. Therefor you won't load unnecessary images (suppose a user refreshes the page).

It is possible to load image externally, just google around for a bit, you'll find plenty of scripts
