Also, there's a weird momentary thing that happens when the preloader is finished... it seems to jump to a frame later in the movie before it starts from the beginning, then it plays from the beginning.
Here is my .fla file if that will help. I appreciate any help, even if it's just to point me to a tute I haven't been through. Thanks.
You are loading the main flash into a container,
if you now use _root in your main movie, it refers to _root, but you actually want it to refer to "container" ..
it is fine without the preloader, but once the preloader is added "A All your own___________" flashes in quickly, then starts from the beginning and plays correctly.
I wanted to attach the fla file of the loaded file, but compressed, it's 2.87 mb -- over the 2mb limit for u/l here.
Thanks!
you know, I think it's because I'm fiddling with the alpha and using the alpha to determine when it's loaded... I'll play with that to try to figure this out. Thank you so much :-)
As far as i remember if you load those thingies, and set their alpha in first frame,
they show up initially for one frame...
If you put the code, that makes it invisible on the MovieClip: onClipEvent("load") it should work...
That just sprung into my mind.
My letters on the F1 key have faded, how are yours today?
