preloader as separate .swf movie

[fgudelj]

hello..
i think that this swish needs quick bug check!!!

I made complete site, and as I finished it I decidet that one preloader would be in order. But the problem is...
When I insert preloader scene complete movie goes bananas. Complete menu goes wild, exp. when i click on "about" it opens "business" and so on. But, when I remove complete preloader scene, everything goes right as it should be. read, EVERYTHING WORKS! ( I tried to find the problem, and I found that in this scene I cann't define scenes in "GOTO FRAME" function. ((( Bad... So I was wondering is it posible to make another .swf movie that will have the role of preloader instead of preloader in main .swf movie.


Thanks..

fgudelj ,

They have !


It sounds as if your another victim of multiple scene's . Try and contain your movie to one scene , you will have far greater control . To get around this you need to use tell target actions . ie Button = _on release _tell target "/" (this scene) goto frame 0 in Scene whatever and play . You also need to place a stop action at the last frame of each scene to stop it looping .

And you can add a swf preloader to your preloading scene .

Simply inserting a preloader shouldn't foul up things like that unless something was totally mucked up. Use the sample preloader in SWiSH and insert that into your movie exactly the way it is done in the sample and see how it plays. Otherwise post the files for someone to take a quick look see.

Make sure the preloader scene is on the upper most level (on top of the other scene) ...
for example:
PRELOADER scene
FIRST scene

not

FIRST scene
PRELOADER scene

Basic preloader tut

Something tells me that naming the preloader scene could be an issue, make sure it has a distinct name that your tell targets in Scene 1 won't confuse with Scene 1. Naming it Preloader works well , and of course making sure it ends with a "Go to frame 0 of Scene 1" action so it completely leaves scene Preloader. As mentioned above, Preloader has to be at the top of the outline, so it gets played first.

hi..

here's my post to this problem..
I found soullution...
It wasn't any of these things you suggested..
The problem was that I made buttons as two sprites..
And the problem came when I couldnt choose sceen for sprites (when I click on one sprite, then it tells other sprice _play).

The problem dissapered when i transformed this first spride into "shape", and gave it all "jobs" ) that the first sprite had to do, and now the whole works perfectly.

Thanks again.

Filip



P.S.
Here is a simple examle that there are still some bugs that need to be checked in swish program.

I am not sure how your issue can be considered a bug in Swish.

Cheers,

ok.

you're right...this cann't be considered as bug, but the subject isn't to be missed in later swish upgrades and fixes.
