Here is the problem.
I am doing a history site containing a timeline (1776, 1800, 1820…2004)
I have a Main shell containg the actual years the user can scroll through, and a blank MC. When the user clicks on a year in the timeline (1820) a .swf file is loaded into the blank MC into my Main shell.
Is it possible to set variables for each .swf loaded (year = 1820) and based on that the preloader would count up or down to that specified year, from whatever year they were on previously. (e.g. If you load the .swf file for 1920 and your on 1800, the preloader would count from 1800 to 1920, and so on)
Does this make sense? Any Ideas?
