macromedia flash sitedesign:
Before it becomes the main page I'd like some comments on this

http://www.quietrocks.com/rocks/rocks.htm

Its very unconventional
Having big problems on making a preloader as moving from sc1(preloader) to
sc2(main movie
makes it play incorrectly. All the methods I've come across don't involve
preloading on the first fram
and allowing the timeline to move after the whole site is loaded
Its 100k.. small
If anyone knows of a 1 frame preloader, please let me know
Comments please..

Thanks

stop()
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10)
function preloader()
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal())

clearInterval(myInterval)

bar._xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal())*100;
myTextField.text = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100)+"%"


make a bar at 100% then instance it as ba

Cheers guys
The nav bar is being tidied up as you read
Its the pages with two stops that adds complications
The movement script was something I found in a tutorial
It could do with some tweaking as moving from scene to scene doesn't work

function Movement()
if (_root._currentframe>_root.mytarget)
prevFrame()
} else if (_root._currentframe<_root.mytarget)
nextFrame()
} else
stop()



Then apply this code with the relative frame numbers to stop at

on (release)
_root.mytarget = 1

Nice and easy.
Thanks for the preloader script Catflea.
I may add sound effects like water, frogs and blips.
Maybe even some throat chanting.

I like the simplicity and queitness, with smooth motion
I would consider the first loading pictures to either be a rollOver
enlargement, or have them exchange sizes as you click on each one. It loaded
just fine on my pc - no preloader issues, I am on 256Ram, 2.4Gh
