upon opening my web page the preloader begins and acts as normal.
During the preloader I have a rotating hockey puck. At 100% I would like this to move and fly towards the screen shattering the camera revealing the movieclip.
The problem I’m having is I create a movieclip of a rotating hocky puck on the preloader. On the first frame of the loaded swf I have the animation portraying the hockey puck hitting the camera through a series of frames leading to the main page.
After the preloader loads the swf it for some reason skips the whole sequence of the hockey puck hitting the camera. It plays correctly if I do not simulate the download. Thinking this was just flash I uploaded it to my server which it doesnt work there either.
So I ask two things.
One is it a problem with the preloader where it is already going through that portion of the swf?
Or is it a problem with the external swf?
Would it be easier to create a preloader that on 100% load it then plays a movieclip that plays the breaking glass scene then loads the external swf.
