Re: "Loading..."

[John Croteau]

Hi Michael,


One of the real advantages of using Flash is its streaming capability.

No one should have to see a Please Wait, Loading or dead time.

A small loading animation should be disguised as eye candy and blended

into the presentation (if and when needed). The viewer shouldn't be made

aware he is waiting. Use a wait-for-frame loop to implement this to

adjust for variations in download time. The loading sequence should be

at the beginning of the movie. A Wait-for frame Demo movie and tech note

can be found at the Flash Tech Resource (URL in sig below).
