Re: FLASH: load movie/unload movie

[dk]

Actually Mark gave me an idea with his post as well..


Load it up in a low bandwidth area of your movie....and have a blank screen

(in the loading movie) with a "stop" action in the first  frame....


then later in the movie when you require the loaded movie...have a frame

setup to tell target the Hidden loaded movie to start then on frame 2 (of

it's timeline) and have the loaded movie set to loop back to frame 2...


now I think I am finially starting to get the ideas behind preloading and

using your main movie (in effect act like a extended preloader) to keep the

public from becoming bored.


thanks all!
