Preloader Problems 2

[imriven]

Hello,
I posted a couple of days ago about this. Here's a recap.

I made a flash website. I noticed it was taking a while to load so I built a preloader for it. But when I tried to load the movie the preloader loads it but none of the buttons work. I tried it both ways I tried using buttons and movie clips for buttons and it still doesn't work. I imported my site to frame 5 and have it go to frame 5 when the preloader is done. I imported the swf file and it turned it into a mc. I'm not too sure how to get the preloader to load an external file instead of importing the file.

The original files were too large to post but here's a copy of the code that I used and yes I put the website in the right frame.


Here's the code I used:

stop();
loadingBar._xscale = 1;
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.getBytesTotal();
var percentage:Number = Math.round(siteLoaded/siteTotal*100);
loadingBar._xscale = percentage;
percentClip.percentDisplay.text = percentage + "%";
percentClip._x = loadingBar._x + loadingBar._width;
bytesDisplay.text = "loaded " + siteLoaded + " of " + siteTotal + " bytes";
if (siteLoaded >= siteTotal) {
clearInterval(loadingCall);
gotoAndStop(5);
}
}

The preloader works. The swf doesn't. I can't click on anything. The buttons don't work, they aren't active for some reason but they work in the swf alone without it being in the preloader.

Please Help!!!


Thanks,

Hmmm....you imported the .swf INTO the preloader?

I would have just added a frame to the beginning of your original file (f5 will add an empty frame....and then put the preloader on that frame of the main project and told it to gotoAndPlay(2); or whatever frame your site started on.

If you imported your SWF is most likely lost ALL of the specifc qualities on buttons, actionscripting, etc - depending on what version of flash you are using.

Make sense?

If not - change gotoAndStop(5); and try gotoAndStop(5);

It's hard to say without seeing everything in action.

I'm using MX Flash. The swf is in the correct frame. When the swf loads it just doesn't have the buttons. I don't know whats happened to them
