Loading loops for data files 1

[bigbird3156]

Hi Guys...

ok, I know how to construct a loading loop to be used when you are loading upyour actual flash movie, but how do i do it when i am loading up a data or text file to be displayed inside the movie...

for an example of what i am looking for go to

I'm hoping it is a straightforward one, i just could not find an answer...

use your normal loop method. Use the loadVariables to load your text file into a movie-clip which has the following script on the clip:

onClipEvent (data) {
_root.stoploop = true;
}


where the argument used in your normal loop would change become:

if (_root.stoploop) {
//whatever you want to happen when the file loads;
}

yeah the site is cool isn't it, now if only i could design em like that, it is one of the winners in the flashforward 2001 contests, i think it got the award for its navigation...

if you havent already you should check out what sort of stuff the winners are producing, very chalanging or depressing depending on your personality (I usually go for depressing for some reason)...
