preloader problem

[QTip]

Hi,

I have a flash movie with 2 scenes. scene 1 is preloader, scene 2 is main movie.
My problem:
The frame that needs to be loaded before people can see my site, is not directly in the root of scene 2. The frame is frame 144 in "_root.block.zohra".

How do I have to tell this to the first scene.
I already did this:

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 1) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

-> But where do I tell that the frame that needs to be loaded is frame 144 of "_root.block.zohra" (this is an instance in scene 2).


If somebody can help me, please do!!
thnx!!

scene 2 has starts with only one frame. But in that frame there is a movie. That movie has 144 frames. I need that 144th frame to be loaded in advance.

So: Scene 2 : 1 frame
Movie in scene 2: 144 frames

Does anybody has an idea?
THNX!

You need to use a loadMovie script earlier on, that addresses it.

Are you in fact loading a movie on another level, or just have an instance (or several) of a mc on stage in scene 2?
Is your .fla available?

it's an instance in scene 2.

fla is not available (7mb).

Another question?

How can I preload instance A without loading instance B? I want instance A to load immediately, and instance B to load when I push a button.
Can somebody help?

Do you still understand my problem? )

Thnx!!

If you're NOT using the loadMovie action, and that the others mcs you're referring to are instances dragged on stage, your preloader should be preloading all of it.
One thing I think may be happening, is that your looping back your preloader to itself with your action inside the ifFrameLoaded action.
Try:

ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 2", 1) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}

Also make sure that your "Scene 2" is exactly the name of that scene.
