This is my Flash project again, only this
time it has a few changes. First, I went in with Flash and added a scene
that preloads the movie... It's useful if the user is able to interact
with the movie, such as by clicking on buttons and such, and the movie
had a large file size. Say your whole website is one big Flash movie,
it may not have completely loaded yet and the user starts clicking buttons,
which should take them to a scene in your movie that corresponds to
the page they should be going to... The problem is that the place in
the movie that they need to go hasn't loaded yet!
A preloader gets around this problem.
It is basically a scene with an ActionScript routine that makes sure
the entire movie file is loaded before it plays any further. And it
uses a nice text message to let the user know what is going on...
I also tweaked the movie a little bit
more. Mostly I added mask layers to the Death Star and Star Destroyer
Scene. I also tried to get the laser blast sounds blend better with
the green lasers. I think it runs a little smoother now.
