This is the second tutorial I've made, this time on Preloaders.

I show how to use properties and text with some actionscript to help you through.

I've also included a chart for converting bytes into both metric and binary (Kb & KiB) that you can jump to from the start.

There are bar loaders, text status displays and a speedo to show how to make a rotating preloader, all without the need for actual animation.

Hope you like it,
-Snake

"Great Tutorial."

date: March 2, 2007

I think you did a great job on informed people who are trying to learn the very complex program of flash. It was straight down to the point, and you even posted some examples. I hope to see more great tutorials from you soon.

"Almost there."

date: March 2, 2007

Regarless of the fact that red text on black is metal, it's hard to read and uncomfortable on the eyes. If you wan to inject your metal style someplace, a tutorial isn't it. Tutorials are designed to be helpful and readable.

Other than that, great work. You've got a comprehensive outline of making preloaders. I'd suggest rearranging some of your material though, so that the definitions and the actual usage are closer together, so readers can tie the terms into their use sooner.

Author's Response:

I'll pretty much listen to anything with good drums, except sexist "gangsta rap".
I chose the colours based on the Red Bellied Black Snake of Australia, but I agree it looks like a metal theme.

I have added an "Albino" theme, which I think is readable even with the red text but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

"Very Good."

date: March 2, 2007

very nice tutorial , however, you aren't the first person to submit a preloader tutorial, and your not the last. Try to aim for originality next time. Other than that, it was very well explained, good work.
