Hi Russell,

Except for the preload everything is top notch so we had no idea you

were new to Flash.

The normal preload is just a loop or possibly a series of loops that

repeats while waiting for a particular frame(s) to load.

The frame you target should be one where you are fairly certain that

most visitors will be able to see the next segment without interruption

due to normal loading delay from the Web.


You can put any animation you want inside the loop(s).

Though in Flash 2 terms, my Wait-for-Frame Demo Movie explains the

general concept. Wait-for-Frame is now called 'If Frame is Loaded'.
