Question

Actionscript playback problems!

I have created a very simple movie. It works great. After I upload it online the movie plays back perfectly. However, if I add a simple actionscript line to the movie, the online playback gets all messed up.

Here's what the movie looks like without the actionscript line: Good playback. And here's what the time line looks like for that movie.

All looks great!

But here's what happens when I add a very simple actionscript line to the time line: Bad playback. And here's the time line showing exactly the simple change I added.

If I remove the action script, the movie plays back fine. And also, I have tried other things, like adding a mouse event (for the 'skip' text button), but this also screws up the play back in the same way. Basically it looks like if I add any actionscript code, my play back gets messed up.

Any idea? This is driving me crazy.

Thanks!

I found a little more info about what is happening. Maybe this will help in determining what is going on.

Turns out the problem is not in the actionscript code within my movie. As per a tutorial I read, I created an external swf file as a pre-loader, with a loading bar, etc.

The file has the loading bar graphics, and one single frame with the code attached. And as I play around tonight I found out that by removing this pre-loader my movie works great, even with the actionscript code I thought was the original problem.

So my question now is, why is this pre-loader causing this issue? What can I do?
