Loading Screen Help

[gmail]

Hi. I'm stuck on my website. I made a website, and after it grew in size i decided to make a loading screen. I do not know how to move my entire site into a frame.



could you guys tell me how to move my entire site into that frame?

first of all before you move anything... is your directions to places coded by numbers or names? by numbers I mean gotoAndPlay (49) etc.. or is it gotoAnyPlay("banner") etc... cause if its guided by numbers you can run into problems by moving your kf.

yes

this.gotoAndPlay(3);

in the loading page

The problem you will run into or have run into, is that by coding your locations with numbers instead of names you end up making your Flash file very inflexable. I was always taught to use names; this way when you need to make an adjustment down the road (such as oh wait I want a preloader) then it would be as simple as selecting your keyframes and sliding everything down 4 knotches. By doing this with numbers, your file is reliant on the keyframe number in order to operate, thus if you move your keyframes you could potentially screw up your whole file and nothing will work anymore. Hopefully your file isn't very big, if it's not I would go around it and change the location names from numbers to names, then select all your keyframes and slide it over 5 knotches since it only takes about 3 keyframes to make a basic preloader. Good Luck!
