[Potato]

Alright i finally got it thanks. Next step, people keep complaining it runs slow the first time but after it runs fine, how do i make a loading screen or something in the beginging to use to make the movie run faster?

Go to flashkit.com and look in the tutorial sections or search on the board for posts of this nature. There are vast amounts there.

Don't have aim I'm afraid, neither do I have Flash installed at the mo, jsut going off memory



Now, you'll need to preload the animation.

Here goes:

Insert two new key frames at the beginning of the movie before the animated section (ie move it all along a few frames if need be). Now insert the following actionscript into the first keyframe:

PHP Code:

ifframeloaded(68);      //--- 68 is an example only here, exchange it for the LAST frame in your movie
GoToAndPlay(3);         //--- this needs to be the first frame of the animated section of the movie 


And this in the second keyframe:

PHP Code:

GoToAndPlay(1);     //this loops the movie back IF the final frame as specified in keyframe one has NOT loaded 


You may wish to insert a "loading" graphic in these first two frames too so the user knows what's happening.

Maybe the coding is wrong or something

What version of Flash are you using?

The syntax changes with each version You might want to try:

PHP Code:

If Frame Is Loaded()

GoToAndPlay is valid actionscript.Try getting rid of the semicolons ( ; )
