What’s up all;
I have some thumbnails that when you roll over they load an outside jpeg into the screen; however they were taking a while to load and it’s not obvious to users when they put their cursor over and don’t see anything because the image hasn’t loaded (100k). So I wanted to display a “loading” message. Here’s what I came up with:
on (rollOver) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“jim”,2);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“loadpic”,1);
loadpic.loadMovie(“load.jpg”);
loadpic._x=300 ;
loadpic._y=100 ;
jim.loadMovie(“jim//travel//jim_travel3.jpg”);
jim._x = 300 ;
jim._y = 100 ;
_root.onMouseDown = function () {
stopDrag() ;
}
_root.onMouseUp = function () {
stopDrag () ;
}
}
on (rollOut) {
unloadMovie(“jim”);
unloadMovie(“loadpic”);
}
is there a better way to do this? i tried a couple of different things, but they didn’t work.
Here’s a working site:
