I need a preloader that will show percentage loaded however when I put one together it is loading the entire movie and it’s very large so it takes a few minutes.
Anyone know of a way to only load like the first half before playing but for the percentage to still go up to 100%?
If you play your movie before it is finished loading, your animation will lag. I do not recommend this.
I take it your movie must be using scenes and that is why it is so large.
The loadMovie() feature in Flash allows you to load in external .swf files. This allows you to cut back on everything that you actually load because if it doesn’t get viewed, it never has to load. And you can easily just put a preloader on each item you are going to load in.
