Is it possible?

[whatshandle]

Is it possible to create a flash "loading" page for an HTML page with flash components? I haven't figured out how to do it. My client insists on it.
For the time being im trying to figure out how to create a loop that will run 3 times from frame 15 to 25 (either by frame or label) and then exit the loop. Any suggestions?

On frame 25 insert a Frame action:

if(root.loop_count < 4){
_root.loop_count +=1;
gotoAndPlay(15);
} else{
_root.loop_count =0; // If you want to re-set it
nextFrame();
}

Don't quite understand your first question?

Thank you for the prompt response! As for the first question: I have a flash loading page that goes to my index.html (as opposed to another flash page or site). How does my preloader communicate with the component to know when it's done loading, and in turn open the html homepage?

My temporary (and bad) solution (hence the previous question) was to have the preloader loop 3 times whether the page has loaded or not. It also means that anyone revisiting my site has to sit through the preloader every time.

I hope I clarified

Thanks!

Not really!
What are you trying to preload exactly? Only the Flash intro to your site, or some other movies on your index page, within the Flash intro?
Either post your code on the preloader, a link to your .fla, or e-mail it to me at oldnewbie@hotmail.com.
