Loading the rest while playing start of movie 1

[kitten]

Hi,
I have a problem with a rather large flash file that is seperated into different scenes. I was wondering if I seperated the scenes into different movies, could I bring up the first scene, and while it's playing that, load the next? etc...
How would I do this?

Thanks heaps,
Kitten ^_-

What you can do is load the first scene with a simple pre-loader, once that's loaded the rest of the movie will load as you play through scene 1. roda B-)

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 1", 20) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 1);
}..

like roda said build a preloader for the 1st scene..add those actions in the first frame of you preloader..last frame of your preloader add

gotoAndPlay (1);

making your preloader loop until frame 20 of scene 1 is loaded..then it will gotoandplay scene 1 frame 1 while the rest of the movie is loading behind it..assuming that scene 1 is big enough to play through while the rest loads!
