Hi, the question is this:
I have a movie loading from CD-ROM. I'm trying to set the preload so that all the buttons work as soon as the movie is loaded. I have tried the following options: preloading the cast after frame one. This loads perfectly - but the time it takes makes for a static frame one for quite some time. usng the idle load command: with this I can put an animation in frame one that will end once the selected frames are loaded. the problem with this is that the loaded assets still have to be decompressed, so causing the movie buttons to once more become unresponsive. Does anyone know a way of setting the start of a movie up so that the effectiveness of the preload option can be combined with having an animation in frame one? - ie work around decompression problem and/or work around the need for the director movie to remain static whilst the cast is loading. is there any lingo command to force decompression once the selected frames have been loaded? Is there any way of running an effective, small animation whilst director preloads a cast before frame one? the movie cast size is about 6 to 7 MB excluding three qt movies, which I can use in a different cast if necessary. Any help would be appreciated Simon [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
