Pre-loading in to another swf.. by duck! on 03-23-2007 at 08:34 PM
Im creating a flash website and i need a preloader but when i add one to my main movie, it goes all over the place =p and i want a preloader.swf to load in to index.swf without having to open index.swf, i looked round the forums and found a thread but that was for flash mx2004 which is different to flash 8 and they didnt want to do the thing i did 
Also i searched google, but cant find anything that fits my satisfaction
thanks.

You should prepend 3 frames to your movie.
It should have an empty movie clip in the
first to the third frame.
The first frame an actionscript should load the
preloader into that blank movie clip.
The second frame of the movie updates the progress bar,
or if the preloader.swf can do it itself, just go on to the third frame.
On the third frame should check whether the movie is loaded or not.
If the movie isn't finished loading, goto frame 2 AndPlay().
Or else let the movie go.
