My flash website has a somewhat large animation (450k) on its main page (its not an intro). This animation starts loading as soon as everything else on the main page has loaded. I want users to be able to ignore the loading animation (interrupt it) and go to another section of the website (which also isn’t pre-loaded, because it has images). So, using the navigation the user should be able to stop loading the animation and start loading the section requested. But I’m not sure how this could be accomplished.
The easiest way would be ot make every section/part of the website on a different keyframe and jump to that frame when the user clicks the corresponding button. The problem with this method is that once the animation has started loading, you can’t load the content on the new frame untill the animation has finished loading.
Any ideas?
