FLASH: Flash 4 Bible - thanks Colin!

[Pete Benedict]

Hey, Flashers,


I've read Chapters 13 and 14 of the new Flash 4 Bible and was happy to

find answers (or hints that jogged my brain) to two questions I had

about:

-- In a preloader testing for the _framesloaded property, how to more

accurately display the progress of downloaded frames in a text field.

Answer: if using a repository scene of the movie's content, spread the

content over a number of frames. (I was putting all of it in one frame

...)

-- Blocking the functionality of buttons on a movie's lower level when

loading another movie into an upper level -- "parking" the movie.


Thanks Colin!


Onwards to Chapter 15, ActionScript!
