Ok I’ve just finished a flash movie and I’m just getting round to publishing it.
First off though I need to add a preloader, I’ve had a search round and found some tuts on preloaders and I understand the concept.
But my question is this, how does everyone integrate their preloaders in to their movies.
Do you just stick the preloader on a seperate layer at the beginning of the movie and then just set everything to start after this, or do you put the preloader on in a seperate scene or movie clip?
This is the first time I have published a flash movie, so I just want to get it right first time.
It is all personal preference h88, it makes no difference if you put the preloader in a scene, or on a frame of your main movie, it all works the same in the end.
personaly I like having a self contained movieClip that has all my preloader script in it. Then I just drop it into place and tweek it to suit the situation. As has been said though, it’s all personal choice. I do tend to believe though, that certain kinds of setups work better or worse for certain situations. (though I don’t believe that I can explain how that is)
If you put it like that, believe it or not… I think putting it in another scene is probably the worst way out of all of them.
Worst or not, I am more comfortable with putting it in another scene, so since I am more comfortable with it, I choose it as my personal preference :beam:
