Loader technical problem... ARGH!!!SDF#$@#

[antoniolea]

I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some input..

I have a custom loader w/ text 1-100%. To make things look easier,

let's say file size (swf) is around 1MB and it shows the loader text that starts from 0 to 100% (when done loading, goto and play frame 5) and so on..

From frame 5, when I do a linkage of a movieclip (in order to write class codes) and the movieclip is about 300k (about 30% of 1MB), this is where problem happens.

When I do a test, the text starts from 30% - 100%; and yes it takes same amount to load that 30% but it's blank till that movieclip - linked to a class is done loading. From this test, I know that the frame 1's graphic object won't even show up until the flash loads the classes (or movieclips that are linkaged).
btw, * publish setting (export classes in frame - 5) is marked but doesn't make any difference.


I would really appreciate if someone could give me some advise why the object in the first frame (the loader) won't show up till the movieclips that are linkaged are done loading?
Is there a solution to this?..

I know that one way to overcome this is to actually write the code inside the movieclip's timeline rather than doing the movieclip-linkage but this doesn't seem to be the right way or efficient way..
