Movie is not loading prior to playing.

[hoja]

Hi, I have the following line of code on my Load Scene :

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 4", 75) {
}

But it's not working...it is not loading the whole movie before it starts playing. The movie consist of 4 scenes, the first is the Load and then another 3 scenes (actual movie) what would be the best way to load the movie before it starts playing, or what am I doing wrong. Thank you

Well first, although it might still work, the ifFrameLoaded action is deprecated, and you should really be using _framesLoaded & _totalframes or getBytesLoaded() & getBytesTotal().

That said, post the full code of your preloader... Or is that it?

If so, that obviously won't work. A preloader is basically a loop that checks if a condition is met (the movie has in fact fully preloaded), and only then has the movie play.

So your preloader should at least be 2 frames...

Frame 1:
ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 4", 75) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1);
// would have the movie play...
}

Frame 2:
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
//Loop back to first frame, until the condition is met.
