wrong forum.
My comment: movie takes too long to load.
First off, thanks for the comment cancerinform.
Second, yeah, sorry about the forum choice. In a bit of a hurry when posting. I had just hit "Enter" when it hit me. Sorry.
About the long load, that was my principal concern and the reason I posted it here in the first place (as I realize very few people are actually interested in the content).
I just coulden't employ any of the multitude of preloaders to work :-( I got more and more pissed and thus reverted to inventing something myself. Mind you, I got "the usual stuff" to work on SOME files/films and jpg's, but not this one. Wether that is down to some "correctable" error on my part or to some "bug" in the way Flash 8 operates is, and will probably forever be, unresolved. I do know that there is some bug in the fla for sure, because a number of times I have had to reimport the pictures and relink them. The symptom being, that the second time after opening the fla for further editing, that I tried to publish it, it would report an "out of memory"-error, and the pics would not "preview" in the library window. THAT was the reason why I stumbled into the F8-forum, sorry again.
You should not import images on stage just a minimum. Instead load images and movies externally.
Yeah, but then I'm "out of control" (edit: meaning about exactly WHEN it shows the picyures)? I figure it's actually what it does presently? I mean, it begins to play before all frames are loaded and it just can't get the full 15MB or so as fast as it begins..
Updated with smoother (sine-based) fade ins and outs.
I'll fade now :-)
