Preloader

[jackkyboy]

Okay, I need to add a preloader to my flash game. which I have one, but I forgot to add one in the beginning and everytime I drag it to the first frame, it just goes to the 2nd frame, but the 1st frame has the beginning of my game, and everything gets switched over, I mean It's really hard to explain how do I add a preloader without messing my game up?

oh I also have different scenes but that shouldn't matter shoud it?

I just learned how to apply the preloader, and from what I know you need to move all your frames in the first scene to frame 2 (so blank keyframes are all on frame 1), and then you copy/paste the/your preloader onto the first frame.

[Mattster]

1. Make a new scene
2. Go to Window > Other Panels > Scenes
3. Drag the new scene to the top and name it preloader.
4. Paste your preloader.
5. (optional) edit the preloader to say gotoAndPlay("game", 1);
otherwise you might have a quick flash of white.

But basically, it should not mess up, as long it is at the first frame of the whole file.
