Hello everyone at Kirupa! I’m new here and I just wanted to say hello!
I’m making a flash site for my MySpace. Right now, I’m struggling with the actionscript stuff, I’m a complete newb at it. I’m learning though.
My question is, how would I make a site that will load external .sfw files into the movie with a working preloader for each .swf file.
As of now, I know how to load external movies; now I just need to add preloaders to them.
I went through the tutorials on this site and don’t care for the results. I found one tutorial that came close to what I wanted but I didn’t like how it added a transition. Can I just make each .swf have it’s own on/off animations and have one preloader for all of them?
Here’s an example:
I’ll have the main movie play and stop where the content gets loaded.
The main page will load and I’ll have buttons for the external .swf files.
If one of those buttons were clicked, then the current external .swf would play it’s own out animation then have a preloader load the next .swf. Once that .swf is loaded, the preloader will fade out and the .swf will continue with it’s in animation.
Catch my drift? I hope so, that’s a lot of reading huh… I’ll leave it at that.
Thanks for all future posts! :thumb:
