Preload swf movie in another html document

[mdpedersen]

I want a swf file to be loaded before you enter the html page where it is. Is that possible!?!:

I have this html page called intro.html with this swf movie called intro.swf. This intro.swf files says welcome to the webpage meanwhile another swf.-movie should be loaded.

The other swf movie is called main.swf and is placed on a html document called main.html.


So when the main.swf movie is loaded it should be able to enter this main.html page - but not before that.


Hope you can help me. I really need this.

I'd change my design if I were you.

Anyway, your shopping list would include:
- 1 intro.html with intro.swf
- 1 main.html with main.swf

Main.html has to be open in order to catch a callback from main.swf.
Main.html has to remain invisible until main.swf is fully loaded.

Frames? No. Unless you know a way to swap them.
Window.open? Could work. Open two windows, put the focus on intro, kill intro once main has loaded.

But then again... better to change your design.
Hint: your intro page sounds like a "preloader".
