preloaders (again)

[Geoff]

My site uses movies loaded with atteatchMovie rather than loadMovie. (It will eventually consist of both)

My prloader is simple and correct (based on Kirupa tutorial) but there is a 10 second download delay before the preloader briefly kicks in. I think I read somewhere that library linked files (ie my movies ) load BEFORE frame 1 and therefore don't benefir from the preloader.

Is there a solution to this or do I just have to use loadMovie all the time

Thanks

This mostly occurs when the size of the preloader itself is too big. Because it has to be loaded too at the beginning, the preloader will have a delay.

And indeed, when items are linked in the library, you will have to check/uncheck (not sure) the export in 1st frame option.

My preloader is actually very small but I take your point about the 1st frame check box on the linkage menu

Thanks

Actually, I just removed the 1st frame loading option on the linkage menu and the button no longer works ???????

Anyone help please !!!!!!!
