i have create a fully flash website and already put into the web. My flash file
size is 40MB++. The problem now, when people trying to open the website, it is
too slow to loading the flash. Sometimes it can take about 30 minute or more to
let the flash play. It the any suggestions that i can do to make it more
faster? or is there any effect if i get the hosting package with the high
bandwidth?? what is the minumum bandwidth should i use?

Please help me, it is very urgent. I hope anyone here could help me to solve
this problem. Thanks a lot.

WOW... 40mb is BIG. Yes, that could certainly take awhile to download.

FIrst off, if you're using images, reduce the compression. Open the image in
your Library, and uncheck the default setting for comression and play around
with that.

Secondly, maybe you should consider loading your images (if that's what you're
using) as you need them.
If it's video, try streaming it.

If you have audio, play around with the compression on that.

yes 40MB is "not just a bit" too large.

avoid single swf for the whole site, create pages to multiple swf, load them
separately.

& since your site is already on the web, if you can post your url here let us
see it....

i have used the swf as my index.html page because it was the smallest in size.

The fla. was I believe larger than 40Mb. I'm not sure if someone with low
bandwith can view the page but it is certainly viewable on highspeed.
