cool

My advices, to make your tutorial better:
Movie Clips are better to use as a buttons, but at the beggining buttons are ok.

Don't use on(release){...};
instead better use:
make a Movie Clip (or button) with an instance name, for example: "myButton_", and in the keyframe place code:
myButton_.onRelease = function() {...};
To make an animation, on for other purposes you can use also
myButton_.onRollOver = function() {...};
myButton_.onRollOut = function() {...};

Do not use _root. If you import movie for example, the imported movie _root, becomes the importing movie _root, and that can mess things up.

Don't use:
tellTarget (_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop (_root.percentbytes);
}
instead:
loader.gotoAndStop(percentbytes);

Good luck :]

"10 hours to get right"

And 5 seconds to find an error.

You have:
on (release) {_quality = "low":}

Should be something like:
on (release) {_quality = "low";}

Anyway, pretty decent tutorial.

It's helpful.

I knew AS from before, but I guess it's helpful for people that's new to ActionScripting. You should make the graphics better, cause they weren't really good, but it's helpful!

mechanixnut responds:

Thanks. I only made the graphics that way beacuse it makes things easy to understand. If my graphics are too good and crazy stuff happens people will get either confuzed or lost in their thought.
