Preloader function question

[evolbeagle]

I was just reading Johnie's bit about the preload function on the Questions and Answers for all post when I remembered something I wanted to ask about it.

If you choose the .fun option for the preloader, does it loop completely each time before checking the load status of the main movie? In other words, let's say the preload movie is 10 frames long. If the preload movie happens to be on frame 4 when the main movie is finished loading, will it then skip from preloader frame 4 to main movie frame 1? Or does it go ahead and finish a loop so that it goes from preloader frame 10 to main movie frame 1?

It will not exit in the middle of the preload movie, only at the end.

Fantastic! That's the answer I was hoping for.

I also just posted how to script a preloader. With that method you can check for preloading completion anytime you call the preload function.
