Hi guys,
I have been trying to get a preloader to appear in a seperate movie clip using a higher depth. I want to set up a slideshow where the preloader appears superimposed over the currently viewed image showing the progress of the next image loading, then disappears when the next image is displayed.
i was thinking of using three MCs - PhotoMC, TempPhotoMC, and LoaderProgressMC. Each photo is viewed in PhotoMC. When a link is clicked to load in another image, its loaded to TempPhotoMC, which is _visible = false. LoaderProgressMC would be created on the fly with a loadbar in it referencing the LoadBytes of TempPhotoMC, prob using _width linked to to the percent loaded ratio. When TempPhotoMC is loaded, PhotoMC is loaded with the same photo from TempPhotoMC which is now in the computer memory.
I can get the normal slideshows working (with the help from the fantastic tutes and people on this site!!!) but i don’t know really how to approach this problem. Any suggestions or pointers would be great!! Thanks, Alex
