Re: FLASH: Is Frame Loaded Question

[Rob Dillon]

Hi Kelly,


If frame is loaded is a single instance test. It doesn't force the movie to

loop or stop at that frame until the specified frame is loaded. As that

test is hit in playback the movie will execute whatever command is listed

IF the frame you reference is loaded. If that frame isn't loaded then the

movie just plays on.


The manual breifly notes that you should test for if frame is loaded in a

loop. This comment is easily missed. What you need to do is to set up a

loop and put the if frame is loaded test inside that loop.


A simple way to accomplish this is to place the if frame is loaded in one

frame then in the next frame put a go to frame command and specify the test

frame or one before it. That way the movie will loop through the test until

it's true. Be sure to specify a jump to a frame later than the looping

frame when the test is true.
