hey!
ok what i’m trying to do, in case anyone can think of a better way, is to load into my flash site one of those facebook buttons that facebook make and give you the code for pasting into html.
soooo what i am doing is making a swf which contains a dynamic text box, into which i have pasted the html for the button. works fine. BUT i don’t seem to be able to preload it. when i put a preloader in i get nothing, the preloader doesn’t show up, because the swf is so tiny it loads right away. what’s taking the time (like 3 seconds) to come in is the image it’s dragging in off facebook’s site. can anyone tell me if there is a way to preload this?
thanks! :azn:
