   I keep reading I should load lazily.

   My app has lots of movie clips that are called into my game and added to the juggler on a button click.

   At the moment I load all the atlases and create the movies on view load.

   To delay this I want to put the atlas and movie code into the button trigger but obviously I only want it to call the first time the button is clicked.

   Is there an elegant way to do this without creating a 'movie created bool' and checking it on button trigger or is that the best way.

   Well, I think a nice way to do it would be to add the check inside the get method. Check to see if the movie is null before you return it, if it is then load it, if it isn't then just return it.

   Now knowing your organization methods, I offer the following generic example.

   -(SPWhatever *)loadWhateverByName:(NSString *)name
   {
        //retrieve it and then...
        if(!whatever)
            initWhatever();
    
        return whatever;
   }

   By the way, I realize now that I typed "Now knowing" instead of "Not knowing." I don't know if you picked up on that typo ^^;
