Hi
I have a flash website, which for the Christmas period, I wish to enhance with a seasonal overlay, using the GetURL command in the actions layer.
The main movie uses a preloader sequence with a progress bar etc, as per the usual tutorials, however, what I would like to do is to pre-load the overlay SWF file too, so that there is no delay when the “go” button is pressed after the main pre-loading has completed.
Is it possible to modify the (this.getBytesLoaded()) and the (this.getBytesTotal()) lines in the preloader code to get the bytes value for the main and overlay SWF files together and to treat them as one for the purpose of the pre-loading?
Alternatively, is there another way to pre-load the overlay SWF file “behind the scenes” sothat it is ready to go when needed?
Thanks in advance for any help offered
Martin
