Hi,

I have a small problem with a preloader in Flash MX.

It seems to become stuck at “frame 0” instead of showing the preload bar, etc…and I didn’t know there was a “frame 0”?

When I test it with “show streaming”, the screen is blank and the preloader doesn’t show, then, when the movie is done loading, the preloader flashes up briefly. I have 2 frames on my main timeline. Frame 1 is the preloader, and frame 2 contains a clip which constitutes the main movie. Frame 2 has stop() and both are labelled correctly i.e. when the movie is finished loading gotoAndPlay(“movie”) (frame 2) is executed.

Has anyone experienced this…and can anyone help? 🙂

Cheers,

Nelly
