Slow playing back swf files

Question

Hello,
I am running OSX 10.4 11 server and have an internal web site I am running. It's on a G4 Xserve with 4GB of RAM. Not that many people access the internal site so I don't think it's the load, but I guess you never know.
anyhow, I created this swf file about 400k and they are very slow opening and playing back.
any clues on what it may be or what I can check?
Thanks,

The way your doing it now can get really confusing over time.
save  a reffrence in an object or an array that would indecate to you if it  was loaded allready or not for example the full switch you have up there  could of been this instead:
1. give your clips there URL so you don't need to ask for it again if your working with movielclips for your buttons or if you created a class for them just give it a public var such as 'actionURL'
so for example
btn1.actionURL = 'link1';
btn10.actionURL= 'link10';
now that everything knows what it loads all is left is for you to now follow after things
1. when the buton is clicked you can ask itself what is the url e.target.actionURL
2. you can then have a flag (boolean value such as isInTransition) that lets you know if there is an animation going on
  2.1 there is no animation so lets load it up
  2.2. ther is an animation so lets save the data and wait for the animation to complete before we start the load
and thats about it
if you want to save a reffrence to if the clip was loaded or not you can save your result in many ways one of them could be an object/array that holds everything that was loaded already
var oLoaded:Object= {};
onLoadNewItem(e:Event):void{
   if(!oLoaded[e.target.actionURL]){ i was never loaded before
       oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] = new Loader(....
   }else{
       oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] //here is my loader do with it what ever you want to do
hope this hit the nail on the head
