I'm not really sure what your question is. If you want to
employ a
preloader, but not have a graphic appear when the file is
already downloaded
you could just do a bit of a hack, and wait for say half a
sec before
showing the graphic:
var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener = new Object();
var myTimer = 0;
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(target, lb, tb){
if(getTimer() - myTimer > 500){
//half second has elapsed - file is not in the cache - show
the
progress meter
}
}
loadListener.onLoadStart = function(target){
myTimer = getTimer();
}
