How to pre-load swf's when restricted to one frame?

[nikising]

Hi there,

So I have a complicated problem that no matter what I do, just can't figure out. The site is a photogallery site which has a splash pg > home pg > photogallery pages. From the home pg to the photogallery pgs I have used loadmovie and unloadmovie. The problem with this is that it takes far too long for the photogallery pgs to load. I can't put a two frame preloader on the photogallery pages because the scrollmenu script within them needs to be on the first frame of the movie ( therefore everything loads on the first frame and its slow ) .


Anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate it!


Thanks alot,

It sounds like you are using a clunky load sequence, as well as trying to load too much at once, in my galleries I load each image independently according to a global that defines the picture type and file reference. You might try building the preview pages with downsampled thumbnails and making them internal, merely loading individual images as required. Take a look at one of my galleries here:http://renwerx.110mb.com/flash/samples/travel.html I would also recommend familiarising yourself with the onboard help, an invaluable reference tool as you can simply copy and paste working code.
