Load Page content before Flash (PLEASE HELP!)

1

Hi,
I have a page containing flash elements. The problem is that the rest of the page will not load until the whole of the flash movie has loaded. I want the navigation etc. to load before this flash element.

A couple of people have suggested putting a preloader in the flash- this doesn’t make any difference!

Please help

How about separating the menu, and other contents of the website into other swf.

or you could hide the stuff with the _visible property:

_root.instancename._visible = 0;

  • to reveal your content just replace the 0 with a 1

(lets just say i hope you don’t have too much stuff to hide!)

You could also place a copy of your background between the navigation and the site content and use the same method as described above only targeting that background copy, might save you a lot of work.

I would have to recommend loading different swf files over this aswell, but that depends on whether you want to rebuild your site… or you don’t have too many things on the screen

You can find a tutorial on how to externally load swf files here at Kirupa. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm
