Preloaders and Movie Files

[tiggaman]

I want to give my visitors something fun to do instead of watching a preloader... I'm thinking, is it possible to run a mouse trailer until the page is finished preloading?

Help me, help me please!!!

I've created the movie clip for the mouse trailer...and I've seen different versions of preloaders that I can use...I just dont know how to put them together. I'm hoping someone that's done something like this before could offer a little advice on how to code it or at least set it up...

Here is a way.

Create 3 frames containing the following

Frame 1:
An instance of the "mouse follow" movie covering frames 1 and 2.
And the following action script for the frame.
If Frame Is Loaded (3)
Go to and Play (3)
End Frame Loaded


Frame 2:
Go to and Play (2)


Frame 3:
An instance of the movie you are loading.

In frame one you can change the "(3)" in "If Frame Is Loaded (3)" to the last frame of your main movie if required. Don't change the goto though.


Hope this helps,

Rich.
