| I have a movie with 2 scenes. Scene1 is the intro and I need it to play while sceen2 continues 2 load in the background
| |

| Oh No! not the dreaded preloader! - I was hoping I could avoid it as I haven't figured out how 2 do it - any help - please?
| |

| Also a number of elements need to load in the 1st frame - I didn't think you could do that with a preloader?
| |
| dzedward 2007-07-12, 6:15 pm |
| yes you can by loading your Main swf into a preloader swf using the MovieClipLoader Class if it's AS2 or the Loader class if it's AS3

| Sounds good thanks-I am using FlashMXpro2004 - also the elements loading into
the 1st frame are external movies including navigation - will these be affected?
Ia I right in thinking I should create a new Fla. and load the main SWF into a
preloader in the new Fla.?

| yes, create a new FLA, insert a new blank movie clip, place it at (0,0), and
give it instance name of whatever, lets say, holder_mc. then attach this code
to Frame 1 of the new FLA.
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number,
bytesTotal:Number):Void {
//do something while it's loading
};
mcLoader.addListener(listener);
mcLoader.loadClip("yourMovie.swf", holder_mc);
listener.onLoadComplete = function(holder_mc:MovieClip):Void {
//do something when it's done loading
};
holder_mc._lockroot = true;

| All done - I have set it up as per your instructions and it all works fine -
thanks 4 that - what do I need 2 do now 2 enable the control of the content
download?
my 1st scene contains almost nothing (kbytes) just intro text but around 6/800
frames, which will buy time 2 download the 2nd scene which contains 1.7Mg of
content.
