Speed loading time.

Hello all.

I'm making some islands in croquet and some of them are getting too complex and
that makes the loading time longer.
What I would like to know is if there are some tutorials to serialize the
islands in disk in order to make the loading time faster, or maybe some other
mechanism to accomplish a faster loading time.

Another question: I would like to include some text in the islands to give some
directions for users. Right now I'm using flash to make this but that makes the
loading times even longer. I also could use images instead of flash but I would
like to use text since it should be the faster way. What is the best way to
make this? And is it possible to make a scrollable text?

Thanks all.

There are menu items (in any of the Croquet morphs that include the
menu bar) for saving and loading spaces.

Yes we can use the space menu to save and load, but I was looking for some
tutorials to make this programmatically, like if there is some serialized
version of this world then load it else do the normal procedure.

Just look at the code the menu is running. Check out
CroquetMenuProject>>actionSaveword and
CroquetMenuProject>>actionLoadWorld.
