Hi!
I have a preloader, and all works fine, but seems that when you add the Creative Menus ( and / or Creative Movie or Creative Text), that those don't get shown in the preloading....the page just stays blank for a while, then the preloader will show at ...say...75%.
An example:
1. When NO menus or Creative Movie, the preloader starts at the beginning / left side of the dynamic horizontal progress bar.
2. When I add menus and / or Creative Movies and Creative Text, the preloader shows at 75% of the load process. So, the first 75% is just a blank screen to the user.
Any ideas on the linkage setting? I see you can't simply "Export for Action Script" and "Export to first frame".

Hi,
Components and any other attached MC from the library are set to Export in First Frame by default. This causes the components to load before the first frame of an application is rendered. If you want to create a preloader for an application, deselect Export in First Frame for any compiled clip symbols in your library. You should know that this may cause the components/attached items to not be available until they are loaded.
The alternative is to load the entire content in a new SWF, which holds only the preloader.

Hi Catalin!
I'm not too sure what you mean by your second statement for loading the file into another .swf.
What I have been able to do is use a loadMovieNum(), and call the .swf file which has the menu items and text affects. This doesn't really seem to reflect the preloader % loading though.
Am I following you correctly? Are you recommending I use loadMovieNum() for the .swf file containing the menus, text affect, and movie affect? What I don't understand is how to get the preloader of this "main" containing .swf to show the download progress of this child .swf w/ the menus, text affect, and move effects.
Thanks!

<p>Hi CC, </p>
<p>What do you mean by This doesn't really seem to reflect the preloader % loading though.??</p>
<p> From what I am reading I can tell that you are following my advice. By loading one swf into another it means to create a SWF which has all the common things in the file + a preloader; and in this main? swf as you call it, try loading the child swf files. </p>
<p>The loadovienum is an old function I suggest you to use the loadclip() method because it will greatly ease the work of creating a preloader <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001997.html" target="_blank">http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/ wwhelp/wwhimpl/ common/html/wwhelp.htm?context= LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001997.html </a></p>
