Load movie conception ?

[loyalone]

Hi all

the only thing that I want to know

from where I should post my perloading scene for external MC

is it in the main movie

or in the external mc itself ?

[audas]

Either.
YOu can target the external clip as it loads into the new level with _level5.getBytesLoaded etc,
or in the clip itself.
The advantage of having it in the root is that you only need it once for all clips, saving size.

The easiest way is to have a simple preloader in each movie that you load. Now on the main movie you will have a button that says:
on(release){
loadMovieNum("newMC.swf",5);
}
newMC.swf is the name of your clip that you want to load, and 5 is the level. The level goes upto about 256 I think.
The first level is always 0 if you try to load into this level you will remove your whole movie.

Now on the movie clip that is being load have the entire first frame blank, with a stop action, and place your preloader on this first frame.
your preloader will just be a simple bar or a counter it is a movie clip. Inside this preloader if you want to have a bar that moves place a bar in it and make it another clip and call it bar. If you want a coount just place a dynamic text box in the preloader clip and call it counter, now click on the movie clip itself from the main ( also called the _root) timeline. And write the following code

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
a=_root.getBytesLoaded()+1;
b=_root.getBytesTotal();
this.bar._width=a/b*400;
this.bar._x=this.bar._width/2-200;
this.count=Math.round((a/b)*100) add " %";

if(a>b){
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

my bar clip was 400 pixles wide.
goodluck.
