You wouldn't need to check the time that's passed; so getTimer wouldn't be required. You get the setInterval function to compare getBytesLoaded to getBytesTotal for the entire movie. You might have an animation that does something on that frame while the rest of the movie loads. I usually put my preloader in a seperate scene <quickly ducks head - expecting flames for mentioning scenes>. Bill Lane Talk about synchronicity ! - this is my first time on the list as well and these snippets were just what the doctor ordered for controlling my timeline ! However excuse my ignorance but can this act as a preloader in the opening frame in waiting for the entire movie ( apart from the animation ) to load/cache ?
