Loading Speeds

[Dannybe2]

One of the most common problems on this forum, problems with loading.

My problem is that when the site is opened, the preloader doesn't start until the whole site has loaded completely, so it's useless anyway.

Should I split my site into a number of scenes? Or a number of separate movies and load them individually? Or have I made a fundamental error with the "if frame loaded" code?

Do you have but just one scene in your movie... Or several?
Do you have several movies to load and unload within your main movie? Does your preloader preceed your first scene?
What's does your If Frame Loaded code look like?

;-) "If nothing else, I can always serve as a bad example!”

tell me if this is a silly question. But have you made sure that your movie IS after your preloader? ie:

frame1: ((label=loop))

If (_framesloaded = _totalframes)
Go to and Play ("site&quot
End If

frame3:

Go to and Play ("loop&quot

frame4: ((the beginning of your movie, label=site))

Thanks for your help - I worked out what the problem was! Whilst testing, I was using a simpler kind of site, which was in fact less CPU intensive than the loading screen itself - so I'm feeling annoyed about not realizing earlier. Thanks anyway!
