I don't know how it is with SWF files. But other technologies like PDF work with byte range requests to start the display of the first page before the full dokument is there.
These feature is nothing you will find in the fileformat. (At least not in PDF) This is just a way to get the file with the given format from the server to the client. My remark was just a warning, that something like that can happen. > -----Original Message----- > From: Carlos Pereira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 3:54 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: File writing performance > > > I don't understand what you are talking about.
