Hello,
I have created an opening animation for the webpage. It works well, a main movie loading in all the component parts, to keep the overall filesize down.
Except this seems to cause me a problem: the animation sits in a normal html page, which has links to other pages. As the animation loads in, the little percentage checker ticking away in the corner, it is either impossible or at best slow whenever you click on any of the html links. It wants to keep loading the bits in rather than stop and do what the browser wants.
IS there anyway of forcing the flash animation to stop loading?
I notice on macromedia’s site that most of there navigation is controlled by other flash movies, rather than html links, altho the html links do seem to interrupt the main animatin loading and then navigating on.
Any hints anyone?
Just an idea here.
What about constantly – that is, while the loader is loading – checking whether _url changes? If so, then kill the animation.
