Preloader only shows 100% during load

[CherieHere]

I have a preloader.swf and a wedding.swf

The wedding.swf is pretty large and I want a preloader to show where it is at on the loading.

The preloader.swf loads the wedding.swf and I want the loading bar to represent how much of the wedding has loaded.

Also, is it possible to go ahead and start the wedding before it is fully loaded (streaming) but after say 50% is loaded????

I did see somewhere that when using this technique all references to _root in the preloader code needed to be changed to "this"

When I made this change the loading bar text said loading 0 KB of 0 KB and the wedding never loaded.

GRRRRR I feel so confused. Really appreciate all the help I have received in order to get this far.....

Thanks in advance, Cherie

Hi Cherie,

I guess you should try to get it done with IfFrameLoaded, and TotalFramesLoaded.
With these you should be able to start the movie when a certain part of the movie is loaded.

Hope this was of help to you.
