good graphics, btw here is how to make a preloader
any questions, just talk to me on AIM SOADfan1313 or msn: GP7589@aol.com or e-mail me.
make 3 keyframes.
make 3 dynamic textboxes. to do this, make a text box, go to properties, and select dynamic. make one of the var. names "percent", another one "b_loaded", and another one called "b_total". make sure to not include the quotes in the var names.
next, make them all individual movieclips. to do this, select each one and press F8.
next, in the movieclip for the dynamic textbox "percent", put in this script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
b_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
b_tota l = _root.getBytesTotal();
percent = Math.round((b_loaded/b_total)* 100.00);
if (percent>=100.00) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
i f you want it to go to another frame or another scene, customize it to your needs.
put in this script in the movieclip for the dynamic textbox "b_loaded":
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
b_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
b_tota l = _root.getBytesTotal();
bytes = Math.round((b_loaded/b_total)) ;
if (bytes>=b_total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
l ike i said b4, costumize the frame number to your needs.
now, put this script in the movieclip for the dynamic textbox "b_total".
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
b_total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
in frames 1 and 2, put the actions
stop();
in frame 2, make ure play button, and on frame 3+, have ure movie. there u go, a working preloader!
