I've Posted Some Code (Preloader) -- Please Double-Check!

Hello All,

So … this site again: www.theproblemofnothing.com. Oh man. Sometimes it freezes, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it works on IE and not Firefox, sometimes on Firefox and IE. I think I’ve got it fixed. But I can’t rest. I’m not sure. The main movie calls externals SWFs via loadMovie - here’s the code from one of the many individual movies:

#include "lmc_tween.as"
this.stop();

That’s on the first frame. Here’s the second:

this.stop();

//--------------------------------
//  THE SET UP
//--------------------------------

artwork_mc._alpha = 0;

//--------------------------------
//    GO TIME!
//--------------------------------

goAhead = function () {
    artwork_mc.tween("_alpha", 100, 1, "easeInOutCubic", 0);
}
goAhead();

Here’s the first frame within the preloader bar:

bar._width = 0;

And the second frame of the preloader bar:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var bt = _parent.getBytesTotal();
    var bl = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
    var percent = bl/bt;
    bar._width = Math.round(percent*91);
    if (bt == bl) {
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
        this.tween("_alpha", 0, 0.5, "easeInOutCubic", 0, themainer);
    }
};
function themainer() {
    _parent.gotoAndStop("main");
}
//themainer();
stop();

That’s about it. The buttons in the *main *file are just:

icon_mc_1.onRelease = function(){
    container_mc.loadMovie("_art/image_1.swf");
    this.tween("_y", 533, 1.5, "easeOutElastic", 0);

OK. That’s it. Promise. I think I fixed it by adding the “.this” parameter to some of script in the loader – I believe the “stop();” was stopping the main movie itself. Hmm. But I’m not sure.

Well, if you’ve got some free time, please check my code, let me know what you think! <3’s for Kirupa. Saved my *** so many times.

Cheers,
