FLASH MX please read! 1

Help!
I made a great flash MX movie full of GIF's and everything went fine!
When i added a preloader scene and all that preloader stuff, the quality of the GIF's in the finished movie (not when i am working) is drastically reduced.
I don't know what happened, i dont think i did anything.
TEK-TIPS? thanks!

It isn't oldnewbie!!!
I saw it but i don't know what's the problem....
A strange thing like the one with my sound problem.

That happened just when you added the preloader? Weird.

What happens if you remove the preloader?

 

[1324]

HAHA!
get this: when i deleted the preloader scene, everything cleared up! Also, same for when i preview the scene only.

WHAT THE!

 

[oldnewbie]

So?

im just answering bubu's question.
i found out that the preloader screws the quality of the latter GIF's.
Why? i still don't know.
Do you?
Does anyone?

Out of the blue... Just like that? No of course I don't know why!
What's your preloader code?
What are your Publish settings?

ifFrameLoaded (&quot;scene 2&quot;,50) {
}gotoAndPlay(&quot;scene 2&quot;

that's the code on scene 1(preloader)
Then on frame one of scene 2 there is a stop command.

First off, although this can't have anything to do with this gif quality problem, the ifFrameLoaded action has been deprecated since the release of Flash 5.
I would tend to think the problem lies somewhere else!
Sure the Publish settings are the same in both files?

any tips on how to use the &quot;appreciated&quot; code?
Pulish settings are the same!
Thanks!!

 

[oldnewbie]

Should be something along these lines:

// if (_framesloaded == _totalframes) {
// gotoAndPlay (&quot;Scene 2&quot;, 1);
// }


// You can use the above... Or the following...
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()>=_root.getBytesTotal()) {
gotoAndPlay (&quot;Scene 2&quot;, 1);
}

And might I be blessed with your vote!

opened it in flash five and tried EVERYTHING!
i have concluded that the preloader afftect the quality of GIF's in other scenes. I think the GIF smoothing thing turns off on its own!
still would appreciate help.
