Hey, before you guys point me to the "simple preloader" tutorial on this site i just want to say, I am wanting to play a movieclip while i'm loading an external movieclip into my scene.
I have looked around the web some, and couldn't quite find the tutorial I needed. Unless I'm using the wrong words in my search.
here is my code i have for my "preloader" but now i want a loading animation to play when i import an external swf. I am trying to get this all done before monday so i'm slowly feeling a sense of panic in my stomach as i'm unable to find this
Code:
play_btn.onPress = function () {
loadMovie("swan.swf", "footage_mc");
footage_mc._x = 185;
footage_mc._y = 150;
footage_mc._yscale = 58;
footage_mc._xscale = 58;
}
