Hi.

I want to use the preloader that is on this website, but there is a problem with it…

If i put it into frame one, and move the rest of my movie along to frame 2, there becomes a problem. a button starts a loop that does a gotoAndPlay(1); … so i changed it to (2), but it still plays frame 1, so there is a brief section when the entire movie disappears, and then comes back in frame 2…

The obvious solution to this would be to have the preloader in a different scene… but then it doesn’t do its job… it loads the frame to make it gotoandplay(“main”,1); but doesn’t pre-load the main scene…

any ideas / solutions. much appeciated. thx.
