Dynamic preloader overlooked?

programming flash
1

I have a music page with about 30 Mp3’s dynamically loaded into it. I also have a artwork page with about 30 Jpegs dynamically loaded in it. I’m using a preloader component that seems to work fine when displaying the movie’s file size (about 882K) but once the preloading is done and the movie begins none of the dynamically program stuff seems to come up right away. It takes a good 10 minutes for just one jpeg to pop up. Could it be that the preloader is ignoring or bypassing the dynamically loaded stuff since its not in the flash library?

Thanks

i believe for dynamically loaded stuff… u cant use a main preloader to preload them… but i could be wrong… :slight_smile:

Any idea on how to preload all this stuff then? Would I need a preloader for every single Jpeg and MP3 on the website?

A preloader on the movie only loads the content in the movie itself. Any external content must be preloaded as a seperate item.

You can do this through method

A) Put each external Item in a seperate .swf file with a preloader

or

B) Use AS to check the size of a clip that you are loading to…
