Hello there

I am using a customised version of the preloader and transition for dynamic files to load a 30sec swf animation that I have made.

The preloader looks great and loads the animation.swf. The problem is that it starts playing before it has totally loaded - underneath the transition animation. When the preloader transition clip opens, the movie is already half way through.

I’m sure there is a bit of script that can stop it playing until it has totally loaded or that makes it start when the transition animation opens but I don’t know how to do it. Please would you help me to do this?

ps. if you explain it like i’m a 5yr old that would help!

Thanks very much!
