I realize I am asking basic questions and I appologise.

I figured out the gallery tutorial and thought I would put a preloader on my larger slideshow. I am trying the “using the preloader component” tutorial.

My problem is: When I publish the file, my back and next buttons flash on and off with the preloder. I must be missing something.:q:

You need to put a stop() action on the last frame of your movie so it doesn’t loop back to the preloader.

Do I add one more keyframe and then a stop action? Or do I just select the actions key frame and add a stop action to that?

Just select actions on the keyframe and choose actions.

It sounds like here that it would be the frame that has your slideshow on it.

Just as long as it is the last frame (or whatever frame you want it to stop on)
