A cool loading sequence is normally one that: 

      

1) Blends in with the rest of the movie.

2) Is not apparent that it is a loading delay.

3) When repeated is not annoying (at least not for normal delays).

4) Does not normally include the words "Please wait" or "Loading".

5) Is no longer than needed to assure streaming of the next segment.



Use Labels and not Frame numbers:


If Frame is Loaded        SceneToBeChecked

   Go to and play         MainAnimation

End frame loaded


Go to and play            ReplayLoadingSequence
