Flash folks, need your assistance.
I've brought an AVI into Flash and have it saved as mc_avi. The MC is on frame 5 of the main timeline. This is the preloader I have on frame 1:
total = reel.getBytesTotal();
loadd = reel.getBytesLoaded();
done = int((loadd/total)*100);
loader.gotoAndStop(done);
ifFrameLoaded (done=100) {
gotoAndStop(5);
}Frame 3 says gotoAndPlay(1);
I have a dynamic text box on the stage called "Done" but as far as I can tell, the movie doesn't even play (much less show the preloader working) until the whole swf is loaded...
does that make sense? my preloader isn't working, i think, because the movie doesn't show until it's fully loaded, in which case the preloader is superfluous....
any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
thx,
liam

load as an external swf with its own preloaded?
just a thought, i am not a big time flash guy. more of a small fish in a big sea of hungry pirates... or something.
