Flash Pre-loading

[Copierbw]

Can you use (_currentframe.getBytesTotal()) instead of (_root.getBytesTotal()) to pre-load only the contents of a specific frame and not the content of the whole flash movie?

Maybe... try it out.

You can use it with sound, xml, loadVars. So do a little experiment and let us know!

Well, I didn't use _currentframe but I got it working not loading the entire contents in one preloader (loading only on demand). I have it working on a scene to scene base and frames within one movie clip...Thanks...

Scene to scene based? That's not possible! Care to share your code?
You can start your movie playing when one or a few scenes are loaded, but you can't preload only on a scene basis. Once initiated the download goes on, even if you start your movie playing at some point during the download. Regards,
