Re: FLASH: Preloading

[John Croteau]

Hi David,


The best thing to do is provide preliminary content and/or amusement and

not a message that says please wait.


For Flash 3 export you can use an If Frame is Loaded loop or loops.

For Flash 4 export you can use the same technique or use _framesloaded

which is used in our Plug and Play Preloader routine.
