Flash files getting big, what something jazzy to spice it up while the user waits, your after a preloader then my friend and here's how to programme on in Macromedia Flash,
Step One
Create and animation of any size that you would like to display during your preloader
Step Two
Insert an new layer (Insert - Timeline - Layer) and call it actions
Step Three
On the first frame insert the following code (\\ lines are comments and do not need to be entered)
// change 11 to the total number of frames in your movie
if (_framesloaded>=11) {
//Change this following number 11 to the first scene in your movie
gotoAndPlay("11");
}
Step Four
At the end of your animation insert the following code
gotoAndPlay("1");
This will make the preloader loop until the condition is meet (i.e. all your frames are loaded)
