RE: FLASH: Just wondering.../preloader

[Chris Tifer]

Well, if you guys are trying to find see if Flash can determine if images

have all been downloaded, then you can put an onLoad="someFunction()"

and in that someFunction, put a call to Flash to go to a frame.  That can

be done, right?


onLoad is reliable and will be fired as soon as the page has completed

loading... I think IE has supported this since version 3, and I'm positive

they

have since version 4.  I don't know when NN began implementing it.

oops . . . I read the post/question too fast.


Outta my league.


Thanks Karin for jumping in.


Boy, I would have to say some tricky jscript (coupled with loading the

images) may/maynot  accomplish this task.


But intuitively speaking, I would say no too. Really no knowing how long it

takes html/graphics to load given the variables of connection speed/network

congestion.


Sorry Spamgirl, I spoke way too soon.

That's what I was going to say except that she is asking if the flash

movie can check to see if the html and images have loaded.  Unless

there is some sort of mysterious fs command I would venture a guess as

to say, no.
