Not sure if anyones had this problem before, but I added a preloader to a flash project by inserting a load scene before the main movie scene.
The main movie contains sound clips.
The preloader does not work (well, the code etc does, its identical to this).
It seems, upon looking at the bandwidth profiler, the 1st frame is 512kb big whereas the 2nd frame (the main bit) is 27kb.
The preloader is on the first frame and upon ctrlentering it shows a blank screen where the preloader should be, loads, then at the last minute flashes up with the preloader at 100% and moves onto the movie.
My guess is we need to tell flash not to have all the weight on the first frame.
(because on the kirupa example, the first frame is 534bytes… the preloader, and the 2nd frame is however many kb, the image)
Any suggestions appreciated.
EDIT: I just figured out to stop the sounds loading on the first frame - properties on the sound then untick ‘export on first frame’
BUT my sounds now dont work
