I don't see what you would modify in the SWF to make the clothes "load faster" unless you're going to keep the loading bar until every clothing SWF is loaded (only way I can see it being done).


There are more logical approaches to making your flash content load faster on your website and one of them is to just use a web server (something like nginx) to cache static web content like SWF's and boom, faster load?


I just can't see what you would change in the habbo swf to make the flash content "load faster" because at the end of the day if your server (network speed, etc) isn't the contention (say you're using an nginx server to host cached flash content) then it'd be a problem at the user-end and their network speed, etc (which is still your problem ig.).


I do notice how Habbo does load multiple clothing swfs at a time, and if you read the thread I linked below it's pretty clear that SWF files aren't really anything lightweight and go through many transitions in the loading process. I see newer hotels adding a bunch of custom clothing and it just slows their whole client down (they're NOT caching as well).

My advice:

Use a web server that'll cache your flash content.

Cut back on custom clothing unless you're putting it in the catalogue, because then it won't be loaded until a user is wearing it, or a user reaches its cata page.
