Putting a Preloader in a Existing .FLA

[steelwindmachin]

I have a 550kb Flash driven image viewer

http://www.g-body.org/entre/auto_elec.html

I'd like to add a pre-loader for those who have a slower connection and aren't waiting ona blank screen...

I have several sample preloader .fla files

I was wondering if there was any way to import or copy a existing preloader .fla into a Scene 1 of my Image Viewer .fla, where the actual Image Viewer will then be Scene 2

Just looking to hopefully not re-make another preloader from scratch for the Image Viewer, as opposed to finding a way to incorporate one I have pre-existing.

Any help and/or insight appreciated.

thanks,

why don't you open the .fla and copy all the frames ..... then go to your real movie and make a new MC and paste them all in there?

forgive me, but what is "MC" ?

[sandman9]

MC=movie clip ..... if you go to insert up at the top then "new symbol" and select movie and hit ok. Then you right click in there and hit paste frames (assuming you already copyed the frames from your preloader) ....... then open up your library and find that MC .... then just drag and drop on your stage :)

I got the preloader copied into Scene 1 of my imageviewer.fla, where the image viewer is in scene 2

now when i debug it in streaming mode, the preloader still isn't working.

In the streaming bandwidth section, when i move the pointer to the far right, my preloader pops up (isn't running though).

any ideas or anyone want to check out this .fla file?

thanks,

if you post the .fla then someone can help you out
