Hey - I Just started playing around with flash...

I have a very basic question:

Is it possible to make a pre-loader that waits untill frame X in scene X is loaded?

The reason I ask is because I'm making an animation with 3 scenes, and i'm wondering if it's possible to make a pre-loader that waits till last frame in last scene is loaded, before playing the movie...

If you just want to make sure the whole thing is loaded before playing, type in the first frame

if(_root._bytesLoaded==_root._bytesTotal){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

In the second frame type

gotoAndPlay(1);

And make frame 3 the beginning of the movie.

You can make this a separate frame or movieclip if you want.

Somone at Newgrounds.com posted a file that has a preloader already created. You can simply paste it in the first three frames of your flash animation.

Check out the page here:

It has some other good little samples and tutorials.
