:nerd: i have anooother question; hope nobody minds.

okay, in this flash movie of mine, i have the whole preloader shebang with the bar and the numbers etc; however when adding this, i have to shift my entire movie one frame over so the preloader doesn’t superimpose itself on to the rest of the thing.

but i want my movie to loop continuously; and with that one blank frame at the beginning, i get a little jump once it begins to loop. is there any way i can make it skip that one frame?

apologies if this was unclear or has been asked before! i’m such a flash virgin. :pope: :x

😏 thanks agaaain!

on the last frame of your movie add this lil script:

gotoAndPlay(2);

That will make it go to frame 2 instead of frame 1 where the preloader would be.
