this is really pissing me off because it's such a noob type problem.
I have an animated preloader setup:
animation----|loader|----animati... out.
and at the animation out I tell it to go to the next scene...
the probem is when I put it online it loads the ENTIRE movie before playing the animations.
any advice appreciated.

you might have a bunch of clips with "export for actionscript" checked...used for attachMovie...

1. DON'T USE SCENES!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry for shouting but seriously don't use them, ask anyone.)
2. The reason the whole thing loads before your preloader plays is that you are "preloading" your preloader...
This means that you have library items that have their linkage set to "export in first frame" this will cause you all manner of knobache with preloading.What to do is, say your main animation starts on frame 10 and you preloader is on frames 1 to 8, drop an instance of each library item you attach in your script outwith the stage area (that way they'll never be seen).

sorry my head isnae wurken too weel today.
If the linkage is set to "export for ActionScript" and "export in firstframe" then these exported items get loaded BEFORE the timeline can start playing thus making a dog's dinner of your preloading.
By manually dropping an instance on a frame AFTER your preloader you essentially preload that library item because it is part of the movie and has an instance on the timeline, but you have control over WHEN it gets preloaded...
Hope this helps...

nope none of em checked...
it is seriously weird... it should work.

Hey emmecks I have used scenes plenty of times before and it has worked perfect.
none of my clips are checked so you have any other ideas?
- JoshClancy0
and nothing is attatched.

send me the FLA.
To be quite frank, saying that you have used scenes before and they have always worked fine is like saying I've been playing Russian Roulette for20 minutes, pulled the trigger 5 times and everything is going well, I might as well pull it once more.
Take it from someone who knows.
Scenes == Scheisse
