my very first preloder

[hholzhauer]

hey guys,
i love your site, you guys are soooo wonderful to help answer silly questions from beginners like me. anyway, here's my question, i have a flash movie as a preloader to a regular old html site and i want the flash movie to go directly into the main site without having to click a button, how do i do that? thanks in advance for any info you can give me!

Ok..Well goto window>inspectors> scenes and add a scene..
Rename them to main and preloader..
Then make sure the preloader scene is on top and very first scene
Then add this action to your first frame

If Frame Is Loaded (ainmation, "whatever frame no you want")
Go to and Play (animation, 1)
End Frame Loaded

Then add this one to the one after it..

Go to and Play ("whatever frame number the first action is on")


This will mae the timeline goto the main scene when it has loaded the amopunt of frames yopu have told it to

huh? i'm still confused, maybe i didn't state the question right. i have a flash movie as a sort of splash page for a plain html site. the flash movie has a preloader in it and i have that working correctly so the order i need things to go in is: flash preloader...flash movie...html site. so i need the flash movie to flow right into the html site without having to click a button, sorry for the confusion, i don't know if this changes your first response or not. thanks

ok..
Gotachya..
So youve got a preloader..
Once it preloads the flash intro or movie you then want to direct it to the html page..
Well then just add a get url action at the last keyframe of your movie..
Stop
getURL ("yoursite.html");
Itll basically gets the html page with out a button..
Sorry..
