Can anybody work this out???

http://www.besgrove.net/kra/

The external swf preloader doesn’t seem to work…I’ve used the one from the tute here…

in the first frame is,

bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

:: i’ve changed the last line from _root.gotoAndStop(3); to Play ::::

:: It doesn’t work even if i change the Play back to a stop ::

in the second frame is ::

gotoAndPlay(1);

and the third ::

play();

The swf i’m loading in works on it’s own ???
see http://www.besgrove.net/kra/swf/main_content.swf

What have i done wrong???

Check the tutorial again. You downloaded the file at the end, when I last updated the tutorial I updated the code in the tutorial, but forget to supply a new .fla for Kirupa to throw up there, so the downloadable file contains the old code, but the tutorial itself contains the new code that should work.

Me? A legend? since when? how? I am confused.

How long has this place been around? I really have no clue, before it was a vBulletin board it used to be hosted on ezboard.com. I wasn’t here then. I signed up July 22, 2002, the day after I started learning AS :slight_smile: Ahhh, those were some good times.

correct me if I’m wrong but I think this community started in the year of 1999. :slight_smile:

Yep, just checked the FAQ section,

The site has been up since 1999. Strangely enough, this site covered a lot of random programs other than Flash when we (Kirupa) started in 1999.
