I am creating an interactive CD ROM that has a flash file with a 200 meg video file in it. I want to run a pre-loader that will indicate “loading…”
and indicate the file is loading. I have a stop action script built into my first keyframe and on a seperate layer the following action script:
[font=Arial][size=2]onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = “loading… “+percent+”%”;
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}[/size][/font]
[font=Arial]When I go from scene 1 to scene 2 and load the movie, there is a 4 - 5 second delay before I get my Loading text. The file then loads rather quickly and the video file plays. I know this is a big file to load into memory from a CD, but would like the “Loading…” to display immeidately[/font][font=Arial], so the user will know what is going on.[/font]
[font=Arial]Does anyone know why I am geting this delay or how to overcome it? Again, this is not an internal job or running from a web server. It is loading on a local client from a CD ROM drive.[/font]
[font=Arial]Any help would be appreciated. You can e-mail me direct if u like at[/font]
