Hi folks,
Thanks for your support, these forums are fantastic. I thought I would explain how I got the preloader working so others can benifit from my learning curve.
I originally made my flash button to open my swf file. This meant that the preloader would work in FireFox but NOT in IE.
Here is the script.
**********
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Launch('http://www.inspirationandjoy.com/flaskfold/presentation.swf')");
}
*********
Here is what I discovered. If you make the button open the HTML file (instead of the swf file) the preloader seems to work in both browsers.
So now it looks like this:
*************
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Launch('http://www.inspirationandjoy.com/flaskfold/presentation.html')");
}
************
You can view the working model here http://www.inspirationandjoy.com then press view presentation. (Turn off pop-up blockers).
I don't know if this is common knowledge and people said nothing because it is presupposed that I would have done this OR if people just didn't know.
Hope this helps others with the same frustrating problem.
Warmest regards
Paul
