Hello all -
Just finished up with this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm
And am now stuck with a new problem. Preloading. I used this preloader:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentage_loader.htm
But I don’t think I’m doing something right. I saw another tutorial I could do:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/moviecliploader.htm
But I read that it requires flash player 7… and unfortunately the site I’m designing has strict requirements that it must be published in AS1 for flash player 6. (sucks yes - but that’s the real world I suppose)
So I’ve put the preloader in the first frame of each movie with nothing else on the stage. There is however a frame under “scripts” that defines the midframe, as part of the first tutorial. What is happening when all these tutorials meet is that when the main movie attempts to load the external swfs in - it seems to preload it, play the first frame of that movie, then jump back to the preloading frame.
If I’m going about this all wrong - and there’s a much easier way to do this - I’ll be very relieved. But the recap is - I want to use the preloader in tutorial 2, with the transitions I used in tutorial 1.
Sorry if this came out incoherent, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
