I know, I know.. another preloader tut.. There is a method to my madness..
There has been far too many submits without preloaders, hopefully this will help those who need it.

I want to thank the audio artists.. awesome music..

Edit: smileyrandom says:
"And for the previous reviewer's question: "How do you make it animate?" It's simple:

1) Add another layer between the mask and the ActionScript layers.
2) Create a movieclip on the first frame. Add your animation that should play whilst the movie loads.
3) Add a frame in frame 2. Just a normal one.
4) Add a blank keyframe in frame 3. Here create another movieclip containing the animation you want to have play when the movie is loaded.
...That's it!
(NOTE: If you want either animation to play only once, just add
stop();
to its last frame.)
Hope this helped."
Thx smileyrandom :)

I have looked at a lot of tutorials to try and make a preloader, but they were too confusing. This one is really helpful and I think I'll be able to make my own preloader for the KK. ;()

"excellent tutorial!"

date: May 20, 2008

I understood everything perfectly. But when I played a music, it stopped. Well the important thing is the tutorial. I could understand everything perfectly and a person that knows what masking is will understand it.

Author's Response:

Thank you for the review... The sound is set up so, that if you mouse over any of the sound buttons, it stops the music.. If you click the go to the right, the music will continue to play... Glad it helped. :)
