1082 Appendix: Deprecated Language Elements

ifFrameLoaded

Availability

Flash Player 3. This action was deprecated in Flash 5; Macromedia recommends that you use the

MovieClip._framesloaded property.

Usage

ifFrameLoaded([scene,] frame) {

statement(s);

}

Parameters

scene

An optional string that specifies the name of the scene that must be loaded.

frame The frame number or frame label that must be loaded before the next statement

is executed.

statement(s) The instructions to execute if the specified scene, or scene and frame,

are loaded.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Action; checks whether the contents of a specific frame are available locally. Use ifFrameLoaded

to start playing a simple animation while the rest of the SWF file downloads to the local

computer. The difference between using

_framesloaded and ifFrameLoaded is that

_framesloaded lets you add custom if or else statements.
