FLASH: Help w/ Load Movie pls.

[Wayne Townsend]

Hi John,


>Load movie is a very powerful feature


It's wonderful, but maybe you can figure out why this isn't working...


Da facts...



http://www.webstaffing.net/reg2.html


This is your basic web-based rolodex.


Works fine locally.


There are listings under "T" & "W".


Click on a link and the mov downloads, but doesn't display.


Click on the index again, and on the link again, and it will.

So, when it's in your cache, it works.  But the first time it doesn't.


I've used LM a lot, and never had this problem before.


Pls help, I can't afford to loose any more hair!  :)


I've taken the indexes out of a MC and put them on the main timeline.  I've

even had the button goto a frame that has the load action instead of

loading directly from the btn.


All ideas considered!


TIA,


/wayne

>1) Any time where you can't use Movie Clips, such as with Scenes.

>2) When you have various large segments that will be called in an

>unspecified order. If segments are to be viewed in a standard order one

>after the other then you should probably include alll the segments in

>Load Movie allows random-access loading of content without the need to

>load content that is not needed or not needed yet.
