Preloaders

[andycmmartin]

Hi

I have used the following action script to create a basic pre loader for a video file:

if (_root._framesloaded>=_root._framestotal) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1);
}

When the page loads it should show the background image while the video and sound track load. This does not happen it just seems to play the movie and pause to load the next chunk. The movie is at the bottom of the following web page:

Any help would be great. Plus is there some sofware to reduce the size of the video file?

Thanks

Andy

In order to get your script to work your video needs to be embedded in the timeline (not external FLV), but this also means you're forcing the audience to wait for the video to be downloaded fully before starts playing.

His video is embedded in the timeline...

I'd start by changing your script to the correct syntax...
It's _totalframes not _framestotal...

if (_root._framesloaded>=_root._totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1);
}
