View Full Version : Using a preloader with a list component... impossible?!

Hi all, this is my first post.

Attached is a simplified version of an app I am working on.

I would like to use a preloader and have it appear early in the loading stage.

The problem:
- If I export all scripts to the 1st frame, the preloader shows up *after* the first 32k (90% of the movie) have loaded, which defeats the purpose of having a preloader. (The real app is about 200k.)

- If I set "Export frame for classes" property to "2" instead of "1" (in Publish Settings > Actionscript 2.0 > Setings dialog) then the preloader appears at about 20% of the loading process but the list component shows up empty.

Is there a way to set the Export frame for classes to "2" and still have the list component work properly?

Alternatively, is there a way to have the preloader show earlier?

Please look at the attachment, this is a very simple situation -- what am I missing?

To see the preloader in action, run the bandwidth profiler, set the download speed to 14.4 and simulate download.

Thank you!

Found the solution...
"Right click on each broken component's symbol in the library, select linkage then unselect the check box for Export In First Frame."

Thank you, graemebenzie!
