Flash: playing a "loading" movie
This is about Flash SWF files ...
The opening movie for my website is quite big, and I was wondering if I can
play a very small "loading" movie and switch to the main animation when
downloading finishes.
Does anyone have some info on how to do it ?
The situation is simple, I need to run the first movie in a loop, and load the second *at the same time*.
When finished loading the second movie, it must play. Piece of cake, right ?
Thanks in advance !

I don't know this for sure, as I have never done it before, but I know you can load different movies at the same time in different layers... I don't know about visibility and all that though... Check the manual on that... I'm sure I've seen it there... Else there are still the macromedia newsgroups... You can post your question there... That's where the real swf experts are... I'm only in it for the fun...
