What I need is an easy way to preload the swf's in the "what we do" section. Is there a way I can put some code in the frame that targets the movie clip to tell it to preload it before it loads it?
In other words, can I do all the preloading from the main movie?? If not, what are my options?
add blank frame#1 with a stop(); action to all external movies
load them from a frame action in the main movie
when you want to show the movie, send it to frame#2
But that doesn't preload them. My issue is that the external files are so large that if you click the link nothing happens until the page loads. I don't really understand the whole math part of the preloader. Too much code makes my head spin. I really appreciate your help!
Thanks for your help! I set up the preloader and it works except it seems like there is a pause still before the movie loads. If you go to the link below, click "what we do" and then click tradeshows you'll see what I mean.
Okay, now that I know someone will help me... I am wondering if you would mind taking a look at this one last thing. I hope I can explain this correctly. The company that I am designing this website for wants to be able to click the main buttons in the navigation without actually going anywhere and then have the buttons that drop down navigate the page. The "what we do" section is a good example of this. The problem is that when I set the other buttons to not navigate anywhere they malfunction. I am uploading a file for you to see.
If you click "who we are" it works fine, but if you click "what we do" next and select any item under that section and then try to click about us again nothing happens. I can't figure it out and have been pulling my hair out for a week. The weirdest part is that if you click an item under "how we do it" and then click "what we do", it works fine. If you would help me out on this one i'll be your bff! LOL
