Is there a way of retrieving which frame number of the timeline a movieclip has reached?
What I'm trying to do is create a preloader that has an animation (a moving wave type effect) and then when the preloader has completed, the animation transitions seamlessly to the same animation in the main movie - at whatever point the animation has reached in the preloader.
What i want to know is if it's possible to code something like this:
1. Play preloader animation;
2. When main movie has loaded, get the frame number that the playhead has reached and pass it to a variable;
3. Start the same animation on the main timeline at the frame number held by variable mentioned above.
It seems pretty straightforward in principal, but I don't know if it's possible. Anyone have any ideas?
