OK, so I have my loader finished. It works well. Now, I want to know about a few things. So, first I’ll put up my concept I’m pretty much finished up with in Photoshop.
OK, so I’m going to have my preloader, and then a bunch of animations till I get here When you click the buttons, a pop-up will come up within the document (an external Flash document I suppose). So, here’s my questions:
-
Is there any easy way to send all this stuff from Photoshop to Flash or will I just have to redraw it in Flash?
-
Should I have the loader be the first few frames of the whole document (maybe make it Scene 1 or something) or should I have the loader separate and use loadMovieNum() from the main animation?
-
How do you position a loaded movie/movie clip, just with some Actionscript after the loadMovieNum() line?
-
I want to write some Actionscript so that it creates movie clips to load .jpg’s into by looking in a specific directory relative to the movie and following a pattern; something like image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg. And then when there was not another file following the pattern, it would just move on in the script. I guess I could do that with a conditional, but I’m not sure how exactly or which conditional I would use.
Help on these subjects would be much appreciated, but mostly the loader placement one first Just tell me how you include your loader and that should be fine. Thanks a lot.
