Preloader problem

1

Hello i just purchased flash Mx for mac osx and i cant seem to make a working preloader the way i used to do in Flash 5, did it change??? Im using action script normal mode and im using the ifframesloaded action in the deprecated section i insert the scene and frame number then i go to movie clip control and choose goto and play play next scene and it locks up it just stays loading and the movie wont play i change the goto and play to the second scenes name it plays but it wont load any one have this type o problem before??? Im not sure if its Flash mx if its a bug in da mac version or if they completely changed the way you do action scripting any help is appreciated heres my actual script.

this is in the last frame of scene 1

ifFrameLoaded (“scene2”, 35) {
gotoAndPlay(“scene2”, 1);
}

is this correct??? i check the script and it says ishas no errors so i really dont know what is wrong thanx

You can always save yourself a lot of time and hassle by downloading a preloader component from the web. You can find them on www.macromedia.com or [URL=http://www.flashcomponents.com]www.flashcomponents.com. Just download the .mxp file, then it will appear in the Components panel of Flash MX. All you have to do then is drag it over to frame 1 of the main timeline, and customise.

Hi there :slight_smile:

This is a basic metod for loading and don´t work always. With this script you can load some simple animation which doesn`t contain more than one scene. Try with this one http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/flash5_preloaders/index2.shtml
