Load Movie During Preloader

programming flash
1

I successfully used this turotial to create a wireframe anim. I would like to have this running while the preloader is doing its magic.

I am using the Percentage Preloader from here http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm

Is there anyway to have the preloader have an external swf playing while the rest of the site is loading?

Right now I am trying to load the movie with this snippet of code:
_root.currMovie = “Hg”;
Hg.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

the name of the swf is Hg.swf.

I am punchy as hell since it is 3:30 in the Morning. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Yeah just put an instance of the little animation on a new layer to run alongside your preloader. Make sure the instance is present on at least two frames otherwise it won’t run

I have the external swf brought into the first frame with the action script which loads the movie on the first frame in a layer above it, and the movie just does not play. One of the actions on the preloader is definately getting in the way.

In any event, again, I am using this script for the preloader. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm

Does anyone have an fla that I can look at, or can you tell me what I am missing?

Thanks.

I am attaching the Preloader file so that if anyone can take a look at it, maybe this will help.

Thanks a bunch.
