Oh! And by the way, does this work for you?

[stacyfla]

yes! it's working!!
did you change anything in my main scene?
or just the preloader?

[oldnewbie]

I didn't change anything in your files! Just used my modified preloader. Have you sent them? Didn't check!

Oh, and by the way this shouldn't be working, because my Load order is Bottom up and I'm linking you directly to a .swf. Not even an html!
What's happening? All Hell must be breakin' loose!

so the problem is the preloader huh...but it was working fine with its own main scene, how come it didn't work for my main scene?

Or maybe u just loaded a flash file into another flash file, thus allowing u to link streight to a .swf file. I said that would work, but if u don't have a .swf file loading another.swf into it, then it won't work. The reason it works there is because, the explorer loads the first swf file, which is close to nothing in size because there is nothing in it. Sence it is loaded it shows it self, then it begins loading the .swf file that is being loaded into it. SENCE the first .swf file is loaded, it is showing the loader for the .swf file that is not fully loaded.You understand? If you want only 1 swf file, then u have to have the load order in top down order, and linked to a .html file, wich embeds ur .swf file.

I must admit though, that is a pretty good idea. I just like to have one .swf file. it makes things simplier.

oops..hehe..check again,please

[oldnewbie]

Yep! That worked out!

Will have a look now, and see if I can contradict Hell even more...
Should be able to come up with somethin within the hour. Will you be around?

[stacyfla]

thank you ~~~
yes,I'll be around, I can't do anything else till I figure it out (or you figure it out for me..:P )

[oldnewbie]

Answer this though...

Do you have any other movie clips other than your cursor or snapshots movie clips that have linkage set to export on the first frame?

Anything else set to export on the first frame?

I don't think so, I checked the linkage in library, cursor and snapsjots are the only export (I don't really know why are they set to export though.)

[oldnewbie]

Didn't you set them to export yourself?


And what's this supposed to do?

gotoAndStop("playbutton", 1);

What is "playbutton"?

[stacyfla]

I didn't set anything...have no idea what happened......

about that playbutton, at some point, somebody told me, to make another scent between preloader scene and main scene, but I thought I changed it back, where did you see it??

here is the thread that somebody told me to add playbutton scene.

I think I did set them to export, about the cursor, I followed the instruction I found online to set it to export in first frame, but the snapshots I think I just didn't understand what's export in first frame, so I just used it for no reason...:P

[oldnewbie]

Yeah, got gallery2.zip...

It's on frame 410 of your main scene, and although it's not really working, it does work to bring you back to frame 1 of the main scene, if you've choosen to play the movie... In any case, don't worry about that for now... Will start working on it now.

[oldnewbie]

Hell, meanwhile you could do this site and even get paid for it...
