Are you testing this on the web? Or locally?
A link maybe?
Don't quite understand what you're saying here!

Try labeling the last frame of scene 1 (or the last frame of your last scene) and use this:

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 1", "label&quot {
...your stuff...

}

Can you send me your .fla or at least the preloader part at oldnewbie@hotmail.com
Guess you're trying to preload just enough of this movie, so it will continue to preload while I watch the intro, and hoping that the preloading should of ended by the time the intro is over... Am I right so far?
Are these differents mcs (furnishing, tissus, etc...), loaded on other levels or mc instances on the main timeline?

Deecee,
Check this out:

If I wait till 100% of the movie has loaded, no problem, you can hit any menu item and it'll be there.
I've decided to open up the doors when the movie as reached 80%, because at that point, if the user continues to watch the intro (without of course hiting on the skip intro button), the rest of the movie has time to finish downloading (it continues to download even while it has started playing...) before the user reaches the end of the intro.
Either you take out the skip intro button or you let the movie download to 100% before you allow it to play!
This movie being 1.2MB, I imagine the size of the .fla must be well over that. No point in e-mailing it to me, but maybe if you can manage to send me only the preloader part of it (make a copy and delete what doesn't concern the preloader), I can fix it up for you!

to dl the fla with just the preloader go to

http://www.lilliek.com/pre.zip

DEEEEEECEEEEEEE

[oldnewbie]

Well that zip holds almost everything! Only thing missing seems to be scene 2 coding which leaves me stuck! Might as well zip up the whole thing and make it available, as you did for this partial one.
You do realize, I hope, that the preloader has to be in a seperate scene?

Ok! Check this out:

Only have your intro in there (with the skip button dissable) 'cause as I explain in my previous post, I didn't have your scripting for the rest of it. Got davdesign's preloader working properly, just to show you it does work, although I can understand people having trouble with Dave's files, 'cause he sometimes forget not everybody has reached his level of knowledge!

As a matter of fact, I have a question for Dave or anybody else that could answer it: how to get rid of the flash frame of the preloader on a second visit to one's site?

I must admit, in this case, that the preloader and the intro are in the same scene, contrary to what I wrote in my previous post, although it would in they weren't.

Will you be packaging the whole thing so I can complete my help to you?

Your link is not working! Only get a 404!
Basicly, outside of some mods in the dynamic text fiels, I've copied Dave's coding as it. Why it wasn't working for you is probably because you modified it quite a bit!

Will you work on that link?
