This is done using a couple of 'If Frame is Loaded' loops.

The flashing number is an animation in the loop. When the target section

has loaded it goes to a frame where that nunber stops flashing and a

Button with that number appears.


If Frame is Loaded used to be called Wait-for-Frame in Flash 2.
