Hey guys how is it going. I have 2 issues here.

1. the flash banners on this site  are too big its slowing load time...any
suggestions to lowering size but maintaining quality..

the sound is mp3 the shapes are bitmap that was copied from fireworks to
flash..http://strongtowerint.org/test/

2. The actionscript is set to start sound automatically this works with fire
fox but doesnt on ie...any idea why here is the code....I'm using the 2.0
behaviours.

thanx


//Load Streaming mp3 behavior
if(_global.Behaviors == null)_global.Behaviors = {};
if(_global.Behaviors.Sound == null)_global.Behaviors.Sound = {};
if(typeof this.createEmptyMovieClip == 'undefined'){
this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip('BS_iwannaknow',new
Date().getTime()-(Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) /10000)*10000) );
_global.Behaviors.Sound.iwannaknow = new
Sound(this._parent.BS_iwannaknow);
} else {
this.createEmptyMovieClip('_iwannaknow_',new
Date().getTime()-(Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) /10000)*10000) );
_global.Behaviors.Sound.iwannaknow = new Sound(this.BS_iwannaknow);
}
_global.Behaviors.Sound.iwannaknow.loadSound("raw/iwannaknow.mp3",true);

I am usng IE 7 and the sound starts automatically straight away, and the sit
e doesnt take that long to load.. 2/3 secs, but I am on quite high broadband
, but still

There was no problem with that
