flash (macromedia): Hi

Ive asked for some opinions on a problem but havent been satisfyed with the
results.


If I use loadmovie in frame 5, for example but the playhead moves to frame 6
etc, will loadmovie still be trying to load the movie ??

When Ive said I want to use loadmovie to load some swf's into a movie
without displaying them til later people have said using a preloader.
1] i dont understand this. How is a preloader going to load, what the
actionscript says do in frame 50 for example - loadmovie
sss.swf,target-"blank" etc.. WHEN in normal movie play frame 50 is only
executed once before frame 51, and then the movie moves on, therefore
unfinishing the load on frame 50, or does it still do the loading if the
movie is moving ahead swiftly ???

cheers
chris

Is really good to read the manuals , it explain idea of timeline and how it works.
anyway .....

If you loadMovie in frame but jump to frame 6 the action in frame 5 will not be
executed. ONLY if you play frames from 5 to 6 . If you directly jump to frame
than you have no chance to trigger that action .

You must execute that action early . The movie can be loaded but does not have to be play.
So on first or second frame you start loading it and than just keep it in level once needed
