hello all please bare with me, im trying to be as descripptive as possible so as to help you help me :write:
so as i get back into the swing of flash (havent flashed in years) and learning AS3, ( i last stopped around when as2 came out…:puzzled:)
anyways,
i umm…am here remembering the headaches of preloaders lol…
anyways, so ive searched the wolrd of google combined with the everlastin staypower of kirupa :hitman: and find a few designers (or ppl doing the tutorials) mentioning that one of the better ways if not THEE better way to do it nowadays (with as3) is to create an SWF that is the main loader and load every page into it etc… so i supposed the index.html would have the loader swf and that loader swf loads in the homepage.swf etc…i assume that the loader.swf just has the code and thats it…all the IN YOUR FACE CONTENT comes in on the homepage.swf
so in most tutorials ive found, they dont mention what happens when u load something AFTER the homepage.swf is loaded…heres what i mean.
for example, lets say i have this LOADER.SWF and on 100% it loads in homepage.swf
now i want to go to the portfolio section. the port button is IN THE HOMEPAGE.SWF
when i press the port butt it obviously has the URLrequest function to load in my port.swf right…so then how does this page get loaded with a preloader?
do i STILL have to put a preloader into these external swfs or??? does it somehow use that loader.swf actionscrip to laod it in with a preloader??
what am i missing?
do i have to tell the port.swf to somehow use the loaders script to load itself in??
im lost…im trying but im lost. im in the stages of transfering ALL my content to flash and b4 i begin arranging items i want to know the best way .
hope i am clear.
thanks in advance fellas /ladies
