Hi all

First post… I’ll try to explain carefully what I need…

I’ve built an animated movie for a website,

The client wants a preloader. No problem right?

Nope. They specifically want a SEPERATE preloader which will sit in “index.php”. This will load the Main.SWF in the background while the user watches the loader animations.

Then when the Main.SWF has finished loading, the Preloader.SWF will redirect to a _new_ PHP page, “welcome.php”. It’s that page, welcome.php, that actually has the Main.SWF embedded.

ie. I cannot use a ‘holder’ and load Main.SWF _into_ the preloader.SWF file - the browser MUST open a whole new page.

How can this be done?

Please help I’m pulling my hair out here! :hangover:
