Besides making images or movies in various formats, there is also the possibility to make a Windows or Macintosh Projector file. Now, what does that give me, you may ask? A Projector file is a file that has the Flash Player embedded in it. The Flash Player is the plugin that a user needs to have installed on hers or his machine if she or he wishes to view flash content on the web.

As you start to develop applications more often you learn ways to save time. One common way to work with sound is to load in many clips and use whatever one you need at the time, or import them into the library during the authoring process. Both of these approaches work in most case, but do have limitations. For instance, loading the sound into the library means you can't update the sounds without republishing the entire movie. The second option, loading in the sounds at runtime works better but means some sort of loading manager is needed and takes longer.

23. Handling cue points for audio files in ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0 | Adobe Developer Connection    adobe.com

Cue points for audio files are a bit harder to implement. Although it's possible in Flash CS3 to load MP3 files with one of the media components (MediaController, MediaDisplay, or MediaPlayback), keep in mind that these components are geared toward Flash Player 6 and 7 and require ActionScript 2.0. Built on an older architecture than FLVPlayback, any one of the media components adds a minimum 55K file size to the published SWF file. FLVPlayback adds only 49K in ActionScript 3.0 documents (35K in ActionScript 2.0 documents), but the newer component does not load MP3 files. Likewise in Flex Builder 2, the VideoDisplay class loads only video. To work around this, you could produce audio-only FLV files (that is, files with no video content), but this practice isn't particularly widespread. In team settings, especially, you may have no control over external assets. Chances are significantly high that your audio will be comprised of MP3 files. Fortunately, a bit of ActionScript quickly fits the bill.

109. Checking if a File Exists | Flash Tutorials    webdesign.org

You can do the same with any file type, even if flash doesnt support the loading of that filetype. You may also be wondering if the above process means you have to load a file twice, the answer is NO. If you are running you flash movie in the browser, then when you check to see if the file exists, the onLoad even handler wont fire until the file has fully downloaded into the browsers cache, but of course the Loadvars object wont do anything with an image file, sound file, or swf file. The next time round, when it comes to actually loading the file to actually display it(swf,image,text) or play it(sound) the file will load almost instantly from the browsers cache. If your flash movie is running on the local machine, then you dont have to worry about loading times anyway, because, as always the loading of a file locally is almost instant.

You basically start with your main or parent flash movie, now when working with multiple movies you have to remember that each movie including the parent is situated in its own level within the flash environment. The main thing to remember is that all parent flash movies (i.e. the main mo vie from which you wish to load external movies) is running on the _level0. So for example every time you add the action play(); to a frame you are in the eyes of the flash world actually doing this
