FLASH: Flashkit Problem..

[Glen Rhodes]

Has anyone been to Flashkit and tried to download any sample movies from the

FLA archive?  It doesn't seem to be working at all.. It's just timing out

for me.  Anyone else?

Subject: FLASH: Preloader & 2nd movie problem



***(sorry if it cross posts, according to my system the 1st attempt

failed)***


Please can anyone help me with a problem.


I have created my first full flash, site (better late than never) in the

first scene i have a preloader, this is made up of a mouse trail adapted and

developed from Flashkit. i liked the idea of having the mouse trail, keep

interested the user whilst the movie is loading.


However when the movie loads and the movie progresses to the next scene, the

constituent elements of the mouse trail, over lay all the subsequent scenes

until the movie loads in a new SWF but remain static....


what am i doing wrong?


Should i abandon the mouse effect?


or is there someway to remove the preloader elements?


I was wondering whether you can load a 2nd movie with the preloader


therefore it would have the preloader in frame1, frame two would load the

movie, but not play it and frame 3 would loop back to one until the movie is

fully loaded then load the new movie as the parent, therfore releasing the

preloader elements..


Sorry for the nature, but after hours of trawling around and getting no

where, i need some helppp!!!! Please..
