Flash FIX: Pre-loader Not Pre-Loading?
So I recently added a flash pre-loader to one of my games and I noticed that it wasn’t pre-loading like I expected it to. It turns out if you have any movieclips, graphics or components in your flash file and you have them set to export in frame 1 they’ll load before your pre-loader code starts running. So the solution is to deselect the Load in Frame 1 checkbox on any movieclip, graphic or component that you’re exporting to actionscript.
