Hi Alma,

> site. A loading page, like in www.gabocorp.com or www.eye4u.com.


What you want is a loading routine called Wait-for-Frame in Flash 2 and

'If Frame is Loaded' in Flash 3. My Wait-for-Frame Tutorial ia at the

Flash Tech Resource under 'Optimization, Streaming, PreLoading and

Wait-for-Frame', there are also two articles that help explain it in

Flash 2 terms. I am doing an updated Tutorial in Flash 3 terms but it is

not complete yet. 


My question is, wouldn't you rather have a Wait-for-Frame like the one

at http://www.FlashCentral.com than the ones you mentioned?

You can't see the one at FC?

That's my point!!!

A Loading routine shouldn't  shout please wait, it should blend in and

only be exposed when Web conditions are worse than normal.

Most Flash movies can and should be be designed without a 'Loading' or

'Please Wait' sign. The viewer shouldn't be made to think he is waiting

even if technically he is.
