RE: [flasher] FLASH: How to control parent movie from loaded movie

[Justin Ludington]

Put your preloader in the child .swf file. For instance, Your "Now Loading"

text could reside in frame 1 and 2. Frame 3 contains the content you are

trying to load. The actions for frame 1:


ifFrameLoaded (3) {

    gotoAndPlay (3);

}


Actions in frame 2:


gotoAndPlay (1);


This will force the movie to loop through frames 1 and 2 (displaying the

"Now Loading" text) until frame 3 is loaded, when it will play.
