Re: FLASH: Preloading question

Hi Bill,

Use an If frame is Loaded (no loop) in Frame 1that checks to see if  the

last frame is loaded. If loaded it will Go to and Play after the loading

section.


Note, this action placed in Frame 1 (as normal) will not work with some

large movies (over 100K) especially if they use scenes. For large movies

without scenes I find that you can make it work reliably by putying a

backup If frame is loaded check for the last frame a few frames into the

movie (5-10).

You can preload the movie by playing it in a small 2x2 size on the page

previous to the actual page you will be displaying the movie.
