Yeah I saw that one last week.

Sorry I'm kind of slow at replying. Feelin' kinda sick.

Anyway, I took a look at the FLA and found your problem.

if (_root.bytesLoaded == _root.getBytesTotal())
{gotoAndPlay(3);} //to comment.
else
{gotoAndPlay(1);}

Yeah.

This is how it shouldve been.

if (_root.bytesLoaded == _root.getBytesTotal) {
play;
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

But it's a little cramped for the preloader if you ask me. You'll need to learn about scenes. Make two scenes.

1) Preloader.
2) Flash.

On the first scene,

On Frame 1,

loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();

Frame 2, your code should go

if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
gotoAndStop(3);

nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Frame 3 is blank.

On Scene 2...
PUT YOUR ARTS IN THERE!

This way, you can make changes to your preloader without having to deal with changing the whole flash.

Lemme know if you need further help.

yes sir. I knew of other ways to do it, but was trying to do it the way described in your tutorial. Anyway I will work on this more and get back to you.

_________________

Lol you had extra brackets. NO WONDER IT DIDN'T WORK.

_________________

why in the following do you have "gotoAndStop(3);"?

Frame 2, your code should go

if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
gotoAndStop(3);

nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Also, i needed the () after .getBytesTotal.

Why doesn't the ball in the first frame bounce? it is a movie.

why are you sick all the time? take care of yourself man. we need you XD.

_________________

It's to force the script to break out of the loop. After that, it shifts to the next scene.

And the ball aint bouncing because the script goes to frame 2, and back to 1, reloading it. You need to have that ball on a different layer and on frames, not keyframes. Let em demonstrate.

_________________

so the command "nextScene();" isn't enough by itself to break the loop? or is the code

"nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}"

in frame 3 for some reason?

I repaired your preloader.

This goes in Frame 1

loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();


This goes in Frame 2.

if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
gotoAndStop(3);

nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Frame 3 is blank.
ABSOLUTELY BLANK. (except for a black box?)

_________________

Wow you are a troll lol. took me a second to figure out scenes. Thanks for the help.

btw frame 2 i changed it to this

if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

and it still works fine. Do you need to stop the first scene from looping for some reason? or won't it stop looping due to the call to "nextScene();"?

nextScene();

Takes you to a new 'scene', and executes the first page of code on it.

To organize a document thematically, you can use scenes. For example, you might use separate scenes for an introduction, a loading message, and credits. Though using scenes has some disadvantages, there are some situations in which few of these disadvantages apply, such as when you create lengthy animations. When you use scenes, you avoid having to manage a large number of FLA files because each scene is contained within a single FLA file.

Using scenes is similar to using several FLA files together to create a larger presentation. Each scene has a Timeline. Frames in the document are numbered consecutively through the scenes. For example, if a document contains two scenes with ten frames each, the frames in Scene 2 are numbered 11–20. The scenes in the document play back in the order they are listed in the Scene panel. When the playhead reaches the final frame of a scene, the playhead progresses to the next scene.
Disadvantages of scenes

When you publish a SWF file, the Timeline of each scene combines into a single Timeline in the SWF file. After the SWF file compiles, it behaves as if you created the FLA file using one scene. Because of this behavior, scenes have some disadvantages:

Controlling scene playback

To stop or pause a document after each scene, or to let users navigate the document in a nonlinear fashion, you use ActionScript. For more information see, ActionScript.

Display the Scene panel
Select Window > Other Panels > Scene.

Add a scene
Select Insert > Scene, or click the Add Scene button in the Scene panel.

Delete a scene
Click the Delete Scene button in the Scene panel.

Change the name of a scene
Double-click the scene name in the Scene panel and enter the new name.

Duplicate a scene
Click the Duplicate Scene button in the Scene panel.

Change the order of a scene in the document
Drag the scene name to a different location in the Scene panel.

View a particular scene
Select View > Go To, and then select the name of the scene from the submenu.

Any questions?
