Hey all,

im making a websitein flash and ofcourse at the start of it it will load the file while showing the percent completed, but i have soem pretty big pictures that i want on my website, but i dont want them to be apart of the initial load, how do i make them load seperateley when called upon, ive seen it done before, and also how would i go about doing it not with a picture, but say... a movieclip? same process?

thanks all

same process, but instead of building the prelaoder on frame1 build it on the desired frame..
even better.. put those "big" images in external movieclips that you can load separately

[funkysoul]

search the tutorial database for loading external movieclips

Okay what you can do is when you click the link for the page or image send it to a key frame that is for that page/image. Then just type some text and make it a symbol. Go inside that symbol and delete the text so it is just blank. Now go back to scene 1 and slick the symbol and for its instance name put page. Now click the frame it is on and add the script to it:

loadMovie('yourexternalmovie.swf", page);

That is what you do for the main page, now creat a seperate flash file with the image or page on it and save it as what ever you want and then change "yourexternalmovie.swf" to what your page is called. make sure you add your loader to it too.

This is how most flash sites are designed to cut down on loading time.

Hope this helped.
