How to test a Preloader... 2007-07-21 15:43:32 Reply

Hello,
Well,I did not want to stay with the same and old newground´s preloader,so then i decided to try doing a new one for myself.

but the problem is when i´m going to run the swf on my computer it do not load,because there is no need to do that......

but,if it don´t load,how can i know if my loading bar is looking good and etc?.....

There is how to see how it is?

Thanks Anyway,
Henrique Teixeira Mergulhão

make sure you have something to actually load, a sound file would be good.

Then press CTRL + Enter to load it up, then press CTRL + Enter again. Wait a few seconds it should show it loading, if not the preloader doesn't work.

Well, when you're working in the .fla file, press cntrl+enter. That way you can see the preview of the swf.
Now, in the swf preview, you can see in the the file bar, i think it's in there. There is an option in there to simulate the download and you can choose in between some internet velocities.

Sorry if i didnt explain clearly, i'm still practicing my english XD

But look in the swf preview for options it is in there.

Download a big wallpaper image and put that in a second scene.
Ctrl + Enter and run the flash, change the Download Speed to the lowest and then Ctrl + Enter again.

Usually gives a good impression.
