hi everyone,
i was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a site that opens its pages by loading swfs into an empty movie clip on the stage. My problem is that the swfs are biggish, and take time to load. I have preloaders in them, but they dont work when used with an swf being loaded into the main page. It just shows a blank for a while then goes ahead and plays the timeline with things half loaded, missing images etc.
I used the same preloader on the main page and it works fine. The code is:
(frame 1)
percent = int(_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() * 100);
percentLoad = percent + “% Loaded”;
bar._xscale = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() * 100;
bar._x = 3.245000E+002 + bar._width / 2;
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal())
{
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
in the second frame it gets sent back to frame one and frame 6 sends a movie loaded message and plays frame 7 onwards:
(frame 2) gotoAndPlay(1);
(frame 6) percentLoad = “Movie Loaded”;
stop ();
gotoAndPlay(7);
Am I missing something very obvious? I’m teaching myself flash so there might be some basic things I’m missing. Can anyone help?
