Creating a preloader in Flash

[Rovi03]

"in my last tutorial I show how to create a preloader" well, in your channel there isnt!

[Gevreet45]

Dude, I couldn't follow your tutorial because this is a follow up to a previous tutorial on preloaders which one needs to see first before watching THIS ONE.

Just a hint - when you make a follow-up tutorial for youtube you need to do make it by keeping in mind that the person who is going to watch it will possibly NOT HAVE SEEN YOUR FIRST TUTORIAL!

Hey, is preloader supposed to be moving forever, not going the next scene??? O.O

[chineseshock]

where the code to copy the action?

[JotaLMusic]

Hey, AL, can you tell me where I can find the tut of the preloader of the number,so I then do this tut.... I want it to be a symbol, so I just copy it to the first frame of any animation I make, and no need to make a new preloader every time.

[markuskereluu]

[clearclear11]

[AnimateLogo]

just copy the following link and paste it in your browser. Remember to remove ALL SPACES and don't miss anything...

CreativeDigit . com/creating_a_preloader/ creating_a_preloader . zip

[AnimateLogo]

Several people requested the .fla file so I uploaded it for everyone. The following link contains the source files, but you need to remove the white spaces from the address because YouTube isn't allowing me to post a Link in the comments:

CreativeDigit . com/creating_a_preloader/ creating_a_preloader . zip

Best regards,

[AnimateLogo]

actually it does... you should be missing something if it's not working for you... Let me know if you'd like I can send you the fla file that is working for me.

[PivAd123]

you had a tutorial about a preloader in flash before? i cant find it tho.. so what code do you put in the actions bar?

[AnimateLogo]

Hello. yes I had one that I recorded, but unfortunately was too large to upload to youtube, so I had to upload this part only. Anyway here is the code: stop(); onEnterFrame = function() { var percent_loaded = Number(_root.getBytesLoaded()/­_root.getBytesTotal()) * 100; myLoadingText = percent_loaded; _root.progress_bar._width = percent_loaded; if(percent_loaded==100){ gotoAndPlay(2); } } Best regards, Wassim

[PivAd123]

thanks wassim :D

[linerider4233]

[shy3882]

[lwouldliketoknow]

I bet youd love to add a preloader to a soundboard I made :-)

[AnimateLogo]

hehe, you are funny. Thanks for leaving comments.

Feel free to IM me on: proud_guy (hotmail)

We will chat from there, and will fix the problem for you.

Best regards,

Wassim

I have spent so long trying to make preloaders and I just cant do it, its driving me nuts, NONE of them work. Ive done loads of tutorials ussually taking me the good part of an hour to do (cos im doing it EXACTLY as Im told) and then it just dont work. It locks up at the end of the preloader animation and thats it. NOT HAPPY lol.
