two things you can do to remedy this problem: 1.pay attention to the bandwitdth profiler when you test your movie.....it sounds like the bulk of your movie is being loaded in the first frame. make sure that the only thing on the timeline in the frame or frames where the preloader works is the preloader. make sure classes are set to export in a frame after the preloader. also if you have assets in the library set to export for actionscript, by default, they load in the first frame. either change that or store them off stage after the first couple of frames.
2. use a stub swf. you can make a very lightweight stub swf that contains only the preloader and a blank movie clip in which to load your main movie. On 6/22/06, Mike Boutin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey everyone, Im creating a preloader and I notice that it doesnt start until about 90% done loading the file. I believe this is because my ui components are exported to the first frame. I tried unchecking "export to first frame" with no difference. I also tried changing the actionscript setting to export it to frame 2 rather than 1, but it is unavailable to change (the field is disabled). Am I missing something here? ;) Thanks!
