Re: FLASH: Load Movie - Frame # or (N)

Hi Suzy,

Not that I suggest you use a loading bar but in Flash:

Help > Samples > If Frame is Loaded

There shows a _framesloaded property being checked to supply an X Scale 

(width) to the loading bar.

The regular If Frame is Loaded works the same in Flash 3 and Flash 4.

If for Flash 4 there is a neat drop down menu

Help > Samples > Widgets

The 4th or 5th Widget is drop down widget (Dorian did the graphics).

Widgets allow you to use Flash 3 techniques - changing graphics, adding

or deleting movie clips and Instance names to create your own drop down

menu which runs on fairly sophisticate Actionscript which you don't even

have to look at.


Revised versions (combo box is there now) with more detailed

instructions will be available soon at Flash Central.
