Then, each subsection can have its own preloader as it's first scene, so as you load them into the main movie they use the preloader as well. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else! -------------------- JS [EOTT] Post Extras:       dearjoachim Novice Reged: 04/10/03 Posts: 2 Re: Advanced Preloader       #131 - 04/10/03 07:55 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   hi, in implementing the Flash5 bytes-percentage-preloader I find that the preloader works fine, but for some reason it doesn't appear until 39% is already loaded!? (which is too long for modem users in this case.) www.surfcenterfalster.dk Right now I cannot login to the ftp-server, so I can't upload the 10MB .FLA. The preloader occupies the first appr. 15 frames of scene 1, and everything else is contained in the remaining frames of scene 1. Perhaps it would make sense to have the preloader in a separate .swf, so you can call it whenever you need to load something ekstra into the site? But can the preloader test the bytesloaded of ANOTHER .swf? thanks in advance Post Extras:       Jeremy Journeyman Reged: 11/20/02 Posts: 49 Loc: Columbus, OH Re: Advanced Preloader       #132 - 04/10/03 09:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Hello, A few things you can check for this. First, I noticed in your very cool site that you preloaded music. If you use the sound object for music, the music often times preloads before everything else, slowing things down. So you could check on that by unselecting "export in frame 1" in the library export controls for your music file. Another thing that sometimes helps is to select top down or bottom up in the export controls for making an swf. Play around with those settings and see if it helps. Let me know if that helps, but I think the culprit here is the music. You could load it externally as well as another option. As for loading another swf with a preloader swf, it would be nice but its not currently possible as far as I am aware. Good luck! -------------------- JS [EOTT] Post Extras:       dearjoachim Novice Reged: 04/10/03 Posts: 2 Re: Advanced Preloader       #133 - 04/11/03 07:18 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   hi Jeremy, thanks a lot for your advice. You were right on. After fiddling around with the bandwith profiler in "test movie mode", it was clear that a bunch of data was loaded in frame 1, even though I had made sure nothing but the preloader was located there. And of course, as you said, when removing sound everything went smooth. I now load the sound objects from external .swf's and that works fine. Thanks again.
