I made a flash website. When I click a button in the menu, it loads another movie at level 1.
Well, is there a way that I can load the other movies that are accessible from the menu while people are looking/reading the movie that they see when the site is opened?
I managed to create a preloader for my site (preloader in the first scene, site in the second scene)
Also, on opening the site the 'home’movie is displayed at level 1, but it isn’t preloaded. can I add this to the preloader?
You can load an external swf file into a ‘placeholder’, which is an empty movie clip. You just set the properties of this placeholder to _invisible so you can’t see it. Then while your main movie is running, the new one will be loading and you won’t get as much of a delay.
Hm, ok, thanks but I’m fairly new to flash, and that’s the first time I hear about placeholders.
can you give me a bit more detailed explanation, or a link where this is explained?
