[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]Dear All,[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]**Please try to find where is the problem because I wasn’t able to do! **[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]I made aflash movie and I put a preloade in the first frame with the appropriate actionscript codes:[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black]ifFrameLoaded(“146”){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
[/COLOR]
[/FONT][FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]I put the swf file on the server and tried to open it through internet to see how the preloader works, but the browser did not show the flash file at all before loading all frames![/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]How I can force the browser to show the first frame “that contains the preloader movie” while loading other frames?[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=green]Waiting replies![/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=darkorange]THANKS[/COLOR][/FONT]

well… for starters, you may want to “stop()” frame 1:)

3

on frame 1:
[AS]ifFrameLoaded(“146”){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}[/AS]
on frame 2:
[AS]gotoAndPlay(1);[/AS]
Frame 3 has to be the start of the animation because frame 2 needs to loop to the frameLoaded check.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Dear Defective and Carbon21 and all,[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Thanks for your replies. The situation is:[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]* I made a movie clip contains the preloader, this movie clip is looping "this note for Defective :wink: "[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]* I made another movie clip contains the whole animation that I want to play[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]* I put the preloader movie clip in the 1st frame[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]* I put the animation movie clip in the 2nd frame[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]* I used the following codes in the first frame:[/COLOR][/FONT]


stop();
ifFrameLoaded("146"){
 gotoAndPlay(2);
}

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]When playing the file, the main movie plays directly, and for being confirmed, I tried to remove the “ifFrameLoaded” sentence, the preloader only worked and the main movie didn’t appear. This made me sure that the preloader works and there’s no problem in codes.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]I think that there’s no problem with these codes. My problem again is as follows:[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]When trying to open the swf through internet to see how the preloader works, the browser does not show the flash file before loading all frames! After loading the whole file, the swf plays at frame 2 directly![/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]I wish that you can understand what the problem is, and I hope anyone can help me to solve this problem.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Thanks & waiting replies!

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Dear FLASH LOVER and all,[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]You can download the fla from:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black][U]The problem description again for all:[/U][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]When you play this movie, you’ll see the movie directly without seeing the preloader, and this is expected because you are running the movie from your local hard disk. The problem is happening when you upload the SWF to internet, the movie also starts directly without showing the preloader![/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]I hope that anybody can help me. [/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Waiting your replies[/COLOR][/FONT]
