Go to Flashkit.com
That was good but anything you want to know can be found at flashkit.com
Shit!
What a kinda shit, this is the second preloader I saw today!!! So for the second time I say: submit this shit at Flashkit.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
The idea is alright...
But this has been done many times before. And this is a preloader using "If Frame Is Loaded", which is pretty simple. Try making a preloader tutorial for a preloader with percentage and a bar or some other animation. You know, using some variable names, and stuff. Like this:
[make a movie clip first and stick it anywhere and put this code to it, and leave the first 2 frames for the preloader]
onClipEvent(enterF rame) {
loaded = _root._framesloaded;
if (loaded > 0 && loaded == _root._totalframes && loading != "done") {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
load ing = "done";
}
That's just a loader, for a bar, with a percentage text, make a bar [at 100%] as an mc [instance name-> loadBar], and a text field [dynamic] with txt variable "percentageloaded", and attach this ActionScript under the previous lot:
percentDone = Math.floor((_root.getBytesLoad ed() / _root.getBytesTotal()) * 100);
_root.percentageloaded = percentDone + "% loaded";
_root.loadBar._xsca le = percentDone;
}
There, I pulled that one out of my ass ;)
I achieved more than your tutorial, in a review! But it's the thought that counts though, so I gave you some points. :)
NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!!
Because it sucks. And zipstyke, I doubt he was copying you, because yours was actually some what informative. This on the other hand is a POS (not to be confused with Parody of Seven my upcoming full length feature flash). I could waste my time and make a real Preloader Tut for all you people out there that can't seem to manager it, or if you were smart. Go to the Forums, then at the bottom of the page. Type in "Preloader" as the word to search for, then make sure "Topic" is the choice selected and then skim through them until you find something by me which has the proper code for a preloader and how to do it. Ah screw it, I'll make a crappy Preloader Tut for all you people that can't seem to figure out how to do something that is simpler then tying your shoes.
