Preload 1

[boatguy]

I am trying to preload a movie using the following script loaded into actions at frame 224;

{ifFrameLoaded (850)
'gotoAndPlay (225)'
elseif
gotoAndPlay ( 1);}

It never plays the movie, it hangs on the loading graphic. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

why frome 224? shoulden't you want it one frame 1? anyway, see if this helps:

ifFrameLoaded (850){
gotoAndPlay (225)
}elseif{
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

Why is everybody still insisting in using a deprecated action since Flash 5?

deprecated action? how would you prepose he preload? i'm not familiar with any other way.

 

[boatguy]

Thank you TheocraticMind.

Will print the following, (as a signature in your profile):

As for Boatguy... Just don't quite understand, what you're trying to do on your frame 224! Preload the rest of the movie before it moves on? If you already have a preloader on your main movie, those frames should already be loaded, unless you're not loading them all at the beginning.
Otherwise, you should be loading this movie on a nother level, and have it play only when it's loaded.

360 kb is a big size???

How can i add an mp3 that has 3:30 min without taking forever to load the web site?

 

[theocraticmind]

try this:

ifFrameLoaded (850){
gotoAndPlay (225)
}else{
gotoAndPlay (1);
}


i'm not sure why i left the if in the first time a posted the code. that dosen't account for a missing semicolen, i have no clue what that is about, but try this.
