Hi, i'm wondering if anyone can help me out... I'm looking for some kind of advertising preloader script/component in flash. You know sometimes you see an ad for 5 seconds or so before the actual flash movie starts... How is this done without editting the original flash movie? I'm guessing it is some kind of seperate preloader swf file that starts the original movie once it's advertisement has been showed for x seconds. I googled around but couldn't really find what i'm looking for. If anyone knows of a good way to do this or have an actionscript that can help me out, please let me know. I'm just looking for a way to display an image ad for x amount of seconds before i start the original movie for my viewers but i don't wanna edit all the movies by hand or wanna redirect my visitors to another page or window. Thanks in advance
Hi, Yes, you are correct, it's a separate swf file that loads the child swf. This can't be an out of the box solution as it might interfere with the code of the child, for instance, if the child itslef loads a second child and targets its variables as _level1.myVar, then preloading your original swf as a child in _level1 will make its child a _level2 and the code will stop working. If you point me to a sample swf that you want to preload with an ad, I can build you a custom generic solution especially for your case. Wont cost you much. PM me if you're interested.
