OK, so I’ve been out of this for awhile. Or maybe it’s a brain fart. Either way I can’t figure out how to automatically load an external swf (preload) and use it later on down the main timeline.
I tried:
loadMovie(external.swf, target mc) on frame one and then instanced a blank mc named ‘target mc’ on frame 5. And many permutations.
I also tried some onEnterFrame stuff.
Then I went the attachMovie route.
No go.
Wrong syntax maybe? Wrong method?
So, after two hours of searching I’m stumped. All I find seems geared toward progress bars. Not needed here. I’m just trying to do the same thing as one would in javascript where you preload images into the users cache so they’re ready when called. Can this even be done?
