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,
