Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Edit 2022: If you need help with preloaders, this may still help you....

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..

"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 :)
