ok ok ok ok ok!
Ok instead of fighting a loosing battle, ive went with the flow and made the flas all on one set of layer frames includibng the pre loader which looks stupid and doesnt work properly just to get it done!
Ive put it up into the animations section of the site, and i may re-address the problems and add in the gradient change part i had hoped to add orig but just to get it done and get back to work on the OJF site i didnt impliment fully.
So the moral is dont tart another piece of work whilst still currently working on another one! But like i said ill go back and re-address this soon.
