Re: FLASH: Load Movie

[Wayne Townsend]

Hi Jayma,


I don't have the movie in question in front of me, but if memory serves me correctly, I think the solution was simply to move the stop action (park) to the 2nd frame. 

Try that.  If you still have problems and I'm incorrect on this, I can look it up my eventual solution for you.

I seem to remember you can still have other objects on the first frame though - just not a stop action.  In my case, the loaded movie would not play the first load, but would if you loaded it again.  Levels didn't make any difference.

This was a tough one that stumped everyone; the solution was found by accident.  :(  I didn't need a haircut for quite some time after that one. ;)


Regards,

I don't know if this is making sense, but I have spent hours trying to fix it, and I can't help but think there is something I have done.  Any ideas?  Need more explanation?
