Has anyone else wasted atleast a day trying to make a friggin preloader work? Then figure it all out only to find it works on a PC but not Mac IE 5.2?
I'm nearly loosing my mind. Does anyone have any links they can point me about flash idiosyncrasies on different browsers?
Or am I just nuts and a complete moron? I feel like flash has some MAJOR flaws that create serious problems for developers and end up wasteing enourmous amounts of time. I mean it when I say I have been working on a preloader all day and it is still not functioning correctly...
i have built probably 50 of them in my life - all of them end up working, but none of them worked on the first try.

something is fucked with your code. you shouldn't be having any problems in major browsers if you're referencing getBytesLoaded and all that correctly. using attachsound in the library can also fuck your preloaders, that's a flaw for sure.

I have spent many, many consecutive late nights at the studio attempting to fix a very similar IE5 Mac preloading bug. I asked everyone I could for help and no one had even heard of the problem. I approached the solution from every imaginable angle. I recoded the entire thing in a previous version of Flash.
In the end I was unsuccessful.
Across that and other projects I learned that different browsers do indeed load files into Flash differently.
What are you specifically trying to do.
