Loading animation?

IsabelleK

Hello,
I just have a one quick question: is it possible to play an animation while loading the next scene?
I have a menu scene and a game scene (this scene is pretty big: many actors, rules, images, sounds etc.). So I want to make a loading screen:
When player touch the New Game button, then the loading screen becomes visible, and scene changes to the game. I would like to have a slideshow during loading. Is it possible, or when the next scene is loading the animation will not play?

Thank you!

Thank you GsLover!

Other actions such as: Move To or Rotate also are unavailable during loading the next scene?

Just thought that maybe I explained myself in the wrong way.

Let's say I have an actor NEW GAME BUTTON:

When touch is pressed
Change attribute game.loading to true

And the second actor LOADING SCREEN (Alpha = 0):

When attribute game.loading is true
Change self.color.alpha to 1
Animate: FEW IMAGES
After 0.1 second
Change scene to Game

I want to achive this: when player wait for next scene to load, he can see a bunch of images in something like slide show.

OR the other way:

Let's say I have an actor NEW GAME BUTTON:

When touch is pressed
Change attribute game.loading to true

And the second actor LOADING SCREEN (Alpha = 0):

When attribute game.loading is true
Change self.color.alpha to 1
Rotate clockwise
After 0.1 second
Change scene to Game

In this way, I want to achive this: when player wait for next scene to load, he can see a rotating image of for example Sun.

IS any of these possible, or maybe is there a way to make it work?

Thank you!

That's something like a busy icon when your process is running and you need to wait eh? Would have to depend if the transition between the scene really takes a long time or not. Or simply put 'while waiting for scene to load' , display 'animated icon'
