RE: [Flashcoders] Re: How to avoid little blink while loading another movie
You could also load the SecondLine.swf slightly before you actually want to display it, but delay adding it to the display list until you do want to display it. var myUILoader:UILoader=new UILoader(); myUILoader.height=23.6; myUILoader.move(-17,-1); myUILoader.source="SecondLine.swf"; Then at the moment it should be displayed do this: removeChild(mc_FirstLine); // ( OR mc_FirstLine.visible=false; ) addChild(myUILoader); hth, Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sebastian Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 11:21 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: How to avoid little blink while loading another movie Hi, Presumably the blink is caused by the delay between your loading movie being called and you setting its state to visible=false. You can resolve that in a few ways: 1. have the swf you load in already be visible=false, pre-set in the external file. 2. load the swf off-stage coordinates and then move it to the stage only after you set visible=false 3. set the alpha of the loading clip to zero, load the child then set visible to false and restore the alpha as needed Hope this helps, maybe someone else has a better solution. anuj sharma wrote: > I am sorry i forgot to mention i am using UILoader componenet for loading > that external SWF , if you guys have any other container in mind for this > purpose i would be happy to use that. > Thanks > Anuj > > On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 11:01 AM, anuj sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi All >> I am building a simple tween movie in which a line just goes from left to >> right and as soon as it reaches the end point I need to call external swf >> file and need to make the already running tween movie invisible.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: How to avoid little blink while loading another movie
Hi Sebastian Thanks for the reply. Your second point works form me. Just one frame from the end of tween i added the UILoader and i moved the loader to the main stage after making my first movie invisible. Thanks a lot for your help.

I am sorry i forgot to mention i am using UILoader componenet for loading that external SWF , if you guys have any other container in mind for this purpose i would be happy to use that.
