preloader not working with a sliding menu script

[nikising]

Hello,

I have a problem with a preloader not working with a sliding menu script. I have two scenes , one preloader and the 2nd main. For some reason the preloader doesn't show when streaming. I think the sliding menu script loads all the images (its like an image gallery ) onto the first frame and so it's too heavy to see the preloader? I don't know. I've attached the file. I'm sure it won't be difficult for someone who can actionscript. Can someone help me out?

why not just put the preloader on the 1st frame of the 2nd scene?

or perhaps you could try..

w = 0;
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
myload = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
mytotal = _parent.getBytesTotal();
mypercent = myload/mytotal*100;
//
w += (mypercent*2-w)/3;
mcStroke._width = Math.round(w);
mcBar._width = mcStroke._width;
mcLine._x = mcStroke._width;
//
if (mypercent>10) {
txt.text = Math.round(mypercent);
txt._x = mcLine._x-20;
}
/*
Here you can add the code to execute when loading is complete
*/
if (myload == mytotal) {
gotoAndStop("main",1);
}
};

Hi,

How would that work, if I put it on the first frame of the second scene? And where would I put the code you included in your post?

Thanks I would love to try it, please don't disappear acidgreen, could you just explain a bit more?

Hi,

Okay, I can't put the preloader on the same scene as the main page because I can't move the main scripts off of the 1st frame.

So Maybe I could do it with the script you gave me. Anyways, I tried it with the scenes and I couldn't see anything ( bar or loading ) with simulate download. That script is supposed to creat a bar no?

Thanks,
Niki

Why can't you move the script off of the first frame? Just curious.
