Creating an loading swf before the site starts

[orbitph]

I would like some help about creating a loading swf before the actual site starts (site is loading in background, but visitor sees "loading&quot

How can you set this up?

make a small animation that plays for about ten frames(or however big ya want it)in the first frame of the animation put these actions:

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 1) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

in the last frame of the animation put a gotoAndPlay (1);
action (this keeps the movie looping until scene 2 has loaded)..

thats it..real simple..

I tryed the code you suggested, but I had problems. I did it by creating two scenes the loading image in scene 2. But the loading image (scene 2) displayed after scene one. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

the loading image should be a mc in scene 1... or am I understanding your post correctly? Ya' Gotta Love It!

go into the scene panel and drag the loader scene above the other one..

virt2001, I changed scene order and now the only scene that loads at all is the loading please wait (scene 2).

Tulsajeff, I don't know what you mean by mc in scene 1
Thanks

well...I was simply referring to the way I do it... I have a movie clip which is normally a flashing "Now Loading..." or something similar which I will have playing in scene 1 until the ifFramesLoaded becomes a true statement and takes the user to scene 2 which is the main movie.

go back into your actions and make sure you have the right scenes being called..rename your loader scene "loader"..have the other scene1..

first frame in the loader scene should have this..

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 1", "last frame of scene1&quot {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

last frame of loader should have gotoAndPlay (1);
