Re: FLASH: Load Movie into Target Reference

[Cheri Harder]

I knew I wasn't making sense...let me try again.  I use this one blank mc on

stage to showcase my demos.  One of the demos is a movie I made ages ago &

it is too heavy and I want to pre-load that one, so when they pick that one

it will be in their cache.  I cannot pre-load it into the main showcase mc,

because they are just as likely to pick another movie to look at first, but

I thought I could just load it anywhere, to get it into their cache.  So, I

picked level 2 and yes, just parked it on a blank frame.  So far so good.

Now...question #1 is this...with this named movie in the user's cache, when

I later call it with a "load into target" (so I can show it where I want it,

not from level 2) will it read from the cache?


question #2 is this...I can't figure out how to successfully get around the

delay I need between the "load into target" and the "tell target to go

play" - I used "on press" and "on release" and it almost works, but you have

to press for a count of 2.  On the other hand, I can't ask the viewer to do

that.  Seems to be long enough delay if I do the "load movie" on the "on

rollover" event...but then when they accidently roll over the button again,

it goes blank & looks dumbbbbb.


Does this make any more sense?  Maybe I need a little "if loaded" scenario

in my "tell target" button action, eh?  Maybe I need to go GET loaded!

That's it, I will go have a beer & it will be all better.
