[http://chadzukes.com/lastchance2.swf](http://chadzukes.com/lastchance2.swf) please tell me how this preloader works. um its in 1 file and i used scenes. if you have a slow connection that would be best for testing it. and is it better to use scens or a preloader as the main clip then loading your other movie on a level? ---

Well as you haven’t imbedded it in HTML not everyone will be able to see it. Also it scales E.G. If I have your site full screen it’s big but if I have it less than full screen it gets smaller. As you can see from the jpg’s in your movie, they get very pixilated when stretched to a size greater than what they were intended to be. As for the pre-loader / scenes dilemma, you should always use a pre-loader on all your movies. I’m not sure I fully understand your question but… If you create your site using loads of scenes then people have to download your entire site even if they don’t view all of it. If you split your site into multiple load movies then people will only download what they want to see. If you don’t understand, let me know and I’ll explain in more depth for ya. ---

as for the movie…i’m a little better than that. [http://www.chadzukes.com/test/flash/flash14.htm](http://www.chadzukes.com/test/flash/flash14.htm) is some of my many unfinished works. i only worked on the preloader for this intro. but wha im saying is… is it better to make the preloader part of the first scene of a movie? or is it better to put it in its own movie and load the main movie onto a level? what would be good is a url on how movie data loads, and what needs to be downloaded first before the movie can even start playing. i read about this subject somewhere before, but i cant seem to put my finger on where. ---
