Preload external swf's - preloader blinks for a sec. and disapears

1

here’s my script:

bytes_loaded =Math .round (this .getBytesLoaded ()) ;
bytes_total =Math .round (this .getBytesTotal ()) ;
getPercent =bytes_loaded /bytes_total ;
this .loadBar ._width =getPercent *100 ;
this .loadText =Math .round (getPercent *100 )+ “%” ;
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total ){

this .gotoAndPlay (3);

}

Why doesn’t the preloader display in a normal way??? it blinks, showing “9%” and then disapears

Have you tried, while testing the movie, hit CTRL+Enter again (to simulate a download)?

yeah - i’ve even uploaded the files to my server… so it’s kinda strange! i’m workin’ on a suitable solution though - hope it’ll work!!!

still - if there’s anyone who has any idea why the preloader doesn’t work, please post your ideas…

Hmm, maybe your file is too small or…??
Can you post your .fla?

hi!

sorry for the late answer! i tried to upload the fla to yoy scotty, but the file was to large…

i’ve found a solution to my problem though - a preload component which refers to the MC in my parent movie that the external swf is loaded into… and it works:pleased:

see 'ya 'round the forums

Glad you’ve found a solution=)
