Hi,

I am using one of the default MX2004 Pro Presentation/Slideshows.

I want to post my completed presentation online but it’s final size requires a preloader.

I notice that I can’t get some of my preloader code that I used for past Flash sites to work in this template.

Perhaps there is something about the action script in the first frame of this slideshow template that requires something special.

Anyone tried putting a preloader on a MX2004 slideshow template? Any ideas?

why not move everything to start at frame 2 and put your preloader on frame 1? Just a guess because I have no idea what you’re talking about 😛 an FLA would be usefull 🙂

Why not? Because it doesnt seem to work!

Try it! Open FlashMX2004 Professional version (you need the Professional version to access the pre-bundled Slide Presentation Templates) and fire up a Slide Presentation Template.

Try adding a preloader. Doesnt work for me.

Sure would have a been a lot easier if Macromedia had preloaders as PART OF the prebundled templates.
