When making an intro for a website does anyone know how to make it so that the whole thing loads first before playing so that it isn't jumpy?

That may be a bit vague but I'm sure some one will know.

what are you using to make your flash? You using the actual 'Flash' - or something like Swish? I know how to do it in Swish.

Make a preloader.

I don't know how to make a pre-loader and I am using Flash

Its just an action.

Code: Select all

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 1) {
    gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 2);
}

Choose what scene and frame you want it to check is loaded in the first line, and then what scene and frame you want it to start from in the second line.

Ah right cheers, does this just make it wait then or is a loading thing displayed?

If it doesn't, what is the code to make and image appear?

[Mcqueen_]

That is the action to just make it wait. In Scene 1 you could have some text/image saying 'loading...' or a small movie clip.



The first action should be:

Code: Select all

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 4", 45) { 
    gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1); 
}

The second action should be:

Code: Select all

gotoAndPlay(1);

Put your text/image or movie clip in the second layer.

Obviously change the scene names and frame numbers to match your movie.

That should then loop the movie or show the text/image until the rest has loaded.
