Hi,
I created a simple preloader, which works properly on its own, but when I embed it as a movie clip in the main timeline, it doesn't. Question: is there any reason a preloader MC has to be placed on frame 1 of the main timeline? My problem is that I have a quicktime video embedded later in the timeline that is supposed to play after an animated build of the splash page interface. The video is then supposed to play automatically once the build is complete and the video loads. Hence, I don't want the preloader on the first frame of the main timeline because I don't want it to show up before the interface animated build is finished. Currently, the preloader MC is placed at the end of the opening animation, a few frames before the embedded video keyframe.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
