OK, so I’ve been working on my cartoon for a few months now and I want to put in a DVD type of scene selection in the preloader. I made the buttons and copied the frames for the animation and put it into a movieclip which I put into the over stage on my button. I have 6 buttons total, however the preloader is now 1 meg and that is way too big. Most of the frames being copied have a lot more scenery/animation than the 600x300 window displays and that’s what is bogging down everything.
Does anyone know of a way to take a handful of frames on many layers and make a little button/MC so to speak which would display what is only in the visible part of the stage without copying them over?
No, but I have a suggestion…Why not just have a few different screenshots (in gif, jpeg, png form, what have you) rotate in the button instead of animation. It’ll be a heak of a lot less than one meg - at least it shouldn’t need a preloader for the preloader. I’ve learned that the most space taking/processor intensive things come from tweens. Good luck - I want to see the cartoon too. I’m working on one that should be done after my paid projects so like, maybe, never, I don’t know. Boo…
Dood, thanks a lot for your help. When I get around to posting my movie you’ll notice your idea in there. Thanks, I appreciate it and good luck with your projects.
Thanks for the luck, I need it!! …I’m glad I could help.
