Linkage -> Export this symbol causes an undesireably large first keyframe

[James Pine]

Hey,


My main fla has about 60 movie clips that are exported

as linkable so as to facilitate the use of the

attachMovie command. I've set this up so that the

movie clips don't have to be in separate swfs, and the

person can download them all at once and then run

through the site smoothly.


A problem I've run into is that flash seems to force

all exported movie clips to load in frame one, thus

inhibiting the use of a pre-loader. I've tried putting

a pre-loader in a scene before the main scene, and

also tried loading the main swf inside another swf,

but can't seem to be able to use the getBytesLoaded

and getBytesTotal methods to work on a loaded swf.


If anyone knows of a way around this type of problem

without changing all the exported symbols into

separate swfs and using load and unloadmovie instead

of attach and remove movie, please let me know! Thanx

L8r


JAMES
