hello, I have a html document with embeded flash movie inside <object> element. Is it possible to show initial html page with a message "Loading..." while .swf file loading completes, then switch to the next html page with my flash movie ready to run, or to run litle animated gif instead of object element, while .swf file is loading? Can you explain in details how to write javascript code to serve this task? Thank you!
Flash file contain their own mechanism for showing the 'Loading...' text. Since a Flash file is streaming (it can start running before it completes downloading), you have the first few frames have a repeating loop checking to see if the whole file has loaded and going back the beginning if it hasn't.
