Preloader test please

programming flash
1

Hi, can anyone out there test this pre-loader for me to see if it works properly? It’s not so easy to test them yourself ifyou have a fast connection.

Also, the enter button is sticking, well it’s not working the way it should for me. A solution to how to make it click through to the next scene would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here’s your problem with the button. You’ve got [AS]on (release)
{gotoAndStop(“main”, 1);

}[/AS] at the moment. Try replacing that with this: [AS] on (release)
{
gotoAndStop(“main”, 1);
}[/AS] It’s reading the bracket and goto command as one because there’s no space in between. :slight_smile:

since you are using MX you can use the bandwidth simulator to check your preloader. If you’re on a PC hit ctrl-enter once to check you movie and once again to simulate another bandwidth (anyway all the options will be on the topbar, along with statistics…)

Thanks guys, BUT…

  1. The enter button’s script has been changed as suggested, but it still doesn’t work
  2. As for the pre-loader, in Flash, I think I’ve seen an inkling that it works - it does seem to get to the end of Scene 1 and stop.

BUT

testing the SWF in IE results in an alert poping up to say that " A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?

Have a look for yourselves - www.uk-martin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pre-loader.htm

Also, the pre-loader seems to loop through both scenes, in defiance to the “Stop” scripts.

Sorry, but I am very puzzled, and so more help would be appreciated.
