I need some help with trying to daisy chain movies together for a website. I want to play a small intro movie while the first movie loads. I'm using the load movie command in the intro and I've tried level 0 and level 1, but it doesn't work. Level 0 plays at the same time, and on level 1 it never goes into the next movie. Any help would be great as I need to get this done.
Thanks!
There is some great stuff at this site - http://www.bokelberg.de/actionscript/
just remember that KM does not support loadMovieNum at this time, instead you can use:
loadMovie("mySWF.swf", "_level1")

Oh wow, I did this when I was reinventing dirt.
Create level 0 with no background/sound/graphics (level 0 always plays). Single frame and load your preloader to level 1. Any background/graphic/sound you want. Load your next to level 2, same thing, whatever background/graphic/sound except in the first frame use the Unload command to dump what you previously loaded to level 1.
Example:
Level 0 - Load preloader to level 1 and run.
Level 1 - Display Skip or Play movie choice. If viewer selects play, load main move to Level 2 while displaying some kind of preloader animation.
Level 2 - First unload level 1 (stops preloader animation) then play movie.
This has been discussed over and over again. see this thread http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...aisey+chaining
If you just want a preloacer you wouldn't have to daisey chain. Anyhow with daisey chaining you load the movie you want to plasy first in the highest level and then mak all other movies load underneath it with a stop action on frame 2 and both frames 1&2 blank.
