very simple preload

[JM007]

Hi all,

For the first time I'm working on a flashproject that's more than 200kb ,now I'll need a preload.Problem is that I don't know anything of actionscripting ,could you guys tell me how I can do this the most simple way.It should not be anything special just "Loading..." would have to appear.

Thanks

Add a scene naming "Loading" and put this code at the first frame of the time line. Then Place a Text "Loading Site" on the stage. Put your animation on the next scene.
--------------------------------------------------------------
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()==_root.getBytesTotal()) {
play();
}
};
--------------------------------------------------------------

You don't need the _root.onEnterFrame.

code:

---

if(_root._framesloaded==_root._totalframes){

_root.gotoAndStop("content")  //frame label

}

the flashmovie is not yet ready,but I have added the preload already,does that mather?

When I start the movie I see the loading thing like 1 second , is that because I have a fast internet connection or is there something rang?

Must be a fast connection, as I wait a minute or so before it plays. But it works!

Yep, it works fine.
Took less than 5 seconds to download for me on a 1MB ADSL connection.

Steve, are you on dial-up?
If not you might wanna call your isp and have them check your line for trouble.
