A simple fix - create a wrapper Flash movie, and load the bulky movie in as a child. As long as it doesn't use _root all the time, it should work fine. (And even if it does, you could use _lockroot to fix that).

Hi all, Wasn't sure whether to post there here or Flash-Newbie, so I'm starting here. I've inherited a project where all Flash assets (MCs, buttons, components) are included in an FLA and setup on frameone. All code is in external class definition files, and it isn't pretty. With classes linked to symbol instances in the FLA's library. Client now wants an animated preloader, because the app takes too long to load before running. You see where this is going... everything is on frame 1 and all actionscript classes and used library symbols are flagged to export on frame 1. Ugh! This has probably been covered ad naseum, but cannot give me some quick pointers on fixing this? (If I was doing this from scratch, I'd simply have the preloader and related elements export on frame 1, with symbols and actionscript on frame 2-5, to get the preloader loaded and running while everything else loads. Is really as simple as wedging some frames in the start and changing the export/load frame?) ...Rob _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
