Re: [Flashcoders] Smart Preloading
Hey Allandt, Thanks for your reply. I already found that one.. it was linked to from the earlier mentioned Greensock. Seems like that one can't load mc's from the library aswell.. I actually want to switch of the load before 1st .. and when entering a new level.. load the level clips..(if not already loaded). The UILoader mentions that it can load mc's aswell (at the source property).. but there isn't any example on how to do it.. and the logical ways aren't working.

Re: [Flashcoders] Smart Preloading
Actually, there is a crude way to do it which is uncheck the export on first frame and then place each level on a subsequent keyframe in the main timeline (frames you'll never actually reach during playback). Flash will load the keyframes in order so essentially, it will do what you're seeking to do.

HTH a bit Glen Dennis - I Sioux wrote: Hey, Tried to use a UILoader to check the bytes loaded of a single movieclip(in the library).. but this isn't working. Has anyone got a suggestion to check the loaded bytes of an mc? Thought the LoaderInfo only reffers to the mc's owner. Goal is to preload each game level seperately when it is needed.(if it hasn't loaded while playing the previous level yet).
