preloader problem

Hey Guys,
I have this problem with the preloader. Maybe this question must have been asked a thousand time before

I think my preloader script is perfect (getbyte loader)

The problem is all the loading is done before any frames are loaded that means my preloader does not have any time to react

I have 2 Scenes
first Scene preloader 2 frames.
Second Scene My flash file 3 frames

Total file size 150kb.

I used the Bandwidth profiler it says 128k was already loading in the first frame whereas my first frame contains only the preloader.

And the profiler text files says 449 symbols were loaded in the first frame itself
My problem is can I anyway optimize this so that the first frames load only th preloader or something of that sort

How to I optimize the fla so that the preloader works fine

Please help .

Try making a new movie, that contains just a preloader to load your original movie into another level,

frame 1

loadMovieNum("movie.swf", 1);

frame 2

if (_level1.getBytesTotal() > 0) {
total = _level1.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _level1.getBytesLoaded();

percent = Math.round((loaded / total) * 100);

if (loaded == total) {
_level1.play();
gotoAndStop(4);
}
}

frame 3

gotoAndPlay(2);

frame 4 is a blank keyframe, (to hide the preloader after use)

in your main movie remove the old preloader and just add a stop action on the first frame to prevent it playing back until loaded.

Thankz that was a great help

I ll try it

you should stop level one as soon as it's called to load, or the preloader will pretty much lose the point

Thankz a lot

It helped me a lot

Yeah Now the preloader is working as it should be
