Hi again. Another basic question. I read the tutorial on this site (by the way, thanks for all of those!) regarding basic preloaders. The concept seems pretty simple except for one item. I have created a flash movie that consists of two scenes, each of which starts at frame 1 and counts up, like normal. Once I specify a preloader scene, how do I specify the last frame of the last scene? This may sound stupid, but is the specification (moviescene, 350)where "movie" is the name of the scene, or is "moviescene" the name of the scene? Thanks!

Moviescene is the name of the scene. You don't have to append "scene" as a suffix.

If you want a clean reusable pre loader do this:
label the last frame in the movie "end" it doesnt matter if its in the first scene or another scene.
Now place a blank key frame in frame 5 and another in frame 10.
In frame 5 put this code:
If Frame Is Loaded (Scene 2, "end")
Go to and Play (11)
End Frame Loaded
(if the last frame is in scene 2)
then put this action in frame 10:
Go to and Play (1)
Now you can put a layer below this layer and put a load movie clip
in it. Be sure to add a blank keyframe in frame 11 of this layer so the load movie clip will not be visible once the
preload is done.
Now the best part is any time you need a pre loader you can just copy these frames and drop them into your
movie. All you have to do is put the "end" lable in the last frame of the movie. The other advantage to this method
is if the movie gets bigger your not attached to frames but to a label which should remain at the end. regards, Bill
