already loaded? skip this scene!

[drkknght]

normally, when i'm makin a swf, i create (at least) two scenes:

(1) the preload animation scene
(2) the main content scene

the preloader scene has a lil animation to make the wait more fun, and then once y'hit 100%, you travel on to the next, content-filled scene.

however, when you go back and wanna watch the movie again, there's a lil problem. the swf is already in the cache, so it doesn't have to load again, however...

the preload scene "blinks" before the viewer gets to the content scene. like, it shows the very beginning of the preload animation, then instantly shows the very end, then moves on to the content.

its not a huge problem, but something that i find pretty annoying.

is there any simple line of code i could add to, say, the first frame of the preload scene that says, essentially, "if the swf is already in your cache, just skip this loading scene, and immediately go to scene 2"

?

Label the first frame of your second scene with site, and use at least one first blank keyframe on your preloader scene (you could even add 2 or more other blank frames before your actual code frames), adding the following on that blank keyframe...

code:

---

if(_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal()){

gotoAndPlay("site");

}
