Need help! Preloading my entire Flash site (w/external SWFs)

programming flash
1

Hi guys,

I’ve got a Flash site up that is almost finished, but it just needs preloaders.

http://www.bobthabuilda.net/RDT

I plan on using this type of preloader in the gallery section and before the root movie is launched.

I’m looking for a preloader that preloads the _root movie, and all of the content it loads on it’s level, which will be external SWF files. I plan on using the loader in two ways for the site:

  • For the preloader that I will insert before the entire movie, I plan on loading the tattoos/merchandise/contact/news external SWFs which will makeup the content of the _root movie.

  • For the preloader used in the tattoos/gallery I plan on using it to display a loading bar on top of the button thumbnail clicked, then displaying the pop-up enlarged image (which is an external SWF file) of the thumbnail on top of the entire movie once the loading is finished.

I’ve tried some of the preloader examples given in the tutorial section without much luck. If anyone can help me out and figure out some kind of way to create a preloader for this I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks,

John
