Hi all,
First post for the forum so please be gentle…
http://www.alaskasealife.org/New/research/test/index.php?page=master.php#
Please take a look at this site and help me w/ the preloader that goes along w/ each button. Each of the moving images are separate external .swfs that that i am calling inconjunction w/ the preloader.swf in action script. I read somewhere that separate swfs inside a master swf helps in loading time. The problem is that the preloader works the first time you access the site, but does not dissappear after IE caches the external swfs. How do i go about getting the preloader to disappear after IE caches all the external swfs? When i test the movie in Flash 8 and simulate download, this swf file works like a charm, but it’s only when in IE that problems arise w/ the whole caching thing.
The code I’ve been using is follows for each external swf on the time line in a separate actions layer:
stop();
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
myListener.onLoadProgress = function (target_mc:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number) {
_level50._visible = true;
var preloadPercent:Number = Math.round((loadedBytes / totalBytes) * 100);
_level50.preloader_mc.gotoAndStop(preloadPercent);
}
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
_level50._visible = false;
}
myMCL.loadClip(“pop.swf”,pop,5);
myMCL.loadClip(“preloader2.swf”,50)
Please help, thank you in advance. We are trying to redo our site here at the Alaska SeaLife Center so a CC would be appreciated…what you see here is the new direction we hope to take. :glasses:
