Duplicate movies on same page

I was just wondering, if there is multiple occurances of the same movie on the same page what will happen ?

For instance, my sig is an OBJECT/EMBED tag, If I have 3 posts on the same page will browsers load that movie once and render 3 occurances of it.

Or will they load that movie once for every occurance of the OBJECT/EMBED tag ?

it's the same as an image actually. your browser will download the swf
file once, and then duplicate it as it's called. so technically, your swf file
(or images) are only downloaded one time.

One step further with this subject,

If this Movie were to load anything during play like myXML.load() without being triggered by a button or somthing, would each instance of this movie load the XML seporately ?

no, it's instances of the same files. the xml file is loaded once as well,
then the page is just going to replicate it from your local cache.

same-same, no matter what

Thanks again this pretty much clears up any other questions I may have wondered down the road as well.
