Re: FLASH: pre loading a swf

[Russell E. Unger]

I've a preloader tutorial you can utilize....


http://www.zaxcoms.com/tutorials.html


Here's something to consider:


Seeing as Flash is STREAMING media, it is not always (some will argue ever)

neccessary to use a preloader.  In movies where I have a "Stop" action on a

first frame, I generally will not do a preloader, but may qualify that the

user is 25% through the entire movie load before a button will appear.


Really, it depends upon the project.


HTH,


Russ
