Hi Adam.. apparently U added a second actio on frame numb 2 on the action's layer .. and U didnt anywhere told wat U wrote .. would also B nice If U had posted the sript actions under the movie in the movie description coz Ive done all .. worked .. but only on my mac without any actions and without any dynamic text workin .. coz U jumped the tutorial just be4 u explained bout the scrip actions.. thnks and thnks 4 the gus work.. I used 2 watch a lot of ure tuts .. keep the gud work .

Love how you suddenly skip the entire part of coding the whole thing.. And assume everyone understands you have to look for that in an other tutorial.

But then again, I only looked here to figure out the animation, I have 'people' who do all the coding for me. But it would be nice to understand it better myself, because I'm stuck at AS2 and need to start learning AS3.

[Brandter]

I get it to work almost as I want, tho it laggs, I cant make it to run smooth.

[jbdyoni]

i get dot appearing then disappear one after the other for some reason, the loader doesn't even show up.

I tried to simulate download when I test the movie, but the dots just come up, and when its fully loaded it then continues to the main content as it nothing is wrong!

Does anyone know why its happening? Can any one help me?

I did everything you did, even tried with your source files

Also thank you very much for putting in all this time and effort for all these videos, very much appreciated!

[FinalIcarus]

Why is there a cross in the middle of my circular loader after I convert it into the main loader movie clip?

[keponx]

Hi Adam, thank you for uploading AWESOME TUTORIAL VIDEO!!

Just want to ask how do you declare/define the bytesTotal and the bytesLoaded?

because i follow your tutorial very very carefully. but i still got these two errors. lol

thank you

Keep up the good work ADAM!

[fenris786]

[TrojanSpike1]

that was class ,,

[Flick037]

Excellent... thanx man, we owe you ;)

[donmisquitta]

I love this tutorial and have a question to which I cannot find the answer to anywhere.

How do I use this dynamic preloader to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. I'd like the preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.

Can't wait to hear back. Thanks a mil!

NOTES: AS3 in CS3.

[point6000x]

working on it now for 2 hours but it wont show progress.. text wont update, bar wont run with script applied.

[point6000x]

@S2kFederation lol?

[kayser1824]

por que una de las mitades de color blanco con la interpolacion clasica me gira a la derecha y otra me gira hacia la izquierda?? alguien sabe como lo corrigo para que las dos mitades me vayan a la derecha como en el tuto para poder hacer el siguiente paso que es conertirlo en mascara

[Briondale]

Thank you.. I got the idea when you told 100 frames.. :) ur tutorials are quite useful for me.. Flash helps me to get out of the stress of useless work :D.. again thank you..

[rashiidjako]

thnks it was useful 

[Seraphim323]

Can a similar preloader be made in Flash 8?

[Apapilootoe]

@Seraphim323 Flash 8 don't have AS3. So go watch tutvid's preloader for AS2 tutorial. And it's simple.

[Apapilootoe]

@Seraphim323 But I think yes but for AS2, the script is different.

[raivispurins]

1120: Access of undefined property circleLoader.

Where can I find instance with this name circleLoader

?

[69slaughters]

im stuck at 13:04

my half circle won't rotate but just move left

[morgane2]

@69slaughters if you're working with CS4/CS5 use the motion tween instead, it'll ask to convert to symbol ( do that ). And then right click the bar on the timeline at frame 50, choose "insert keyframe -> Rotation", and at frame 50, rotate your object to be the way that adam has it in his movie :).

It worked for me :), should work for you. Cheers

[romanticscents]

dude. ur hilarious! :) (wink)

[ngdj999]

from 14:30 ONWARDS... my other half a circle wont spin clockwise... it spun anti-clockwise... it looks both retarded and wrong. The center circle is already in the center... what do i do?

[Davion474]

@ngdj999 your so dumb

[NielsvD00rn]

when i doubleclick at the circle at 4:26 nothing happens!

HELP?

[tymczass]

i realy like your voice.

BUT, why dont you show a commend to manipulate start angle & end angle ?

I cant find it ;f

could you please send me a correct name of method to change end angle through action script?

[xnoobxinstinct]

I've said this in your other videos. You need to stop copy pasting a block of code and just assuming we understand what its doing, because I have replicated your code but I don't have a clue why my load bar won't show. The percentage shows and I even set up my own bytesLoaded out of bytesTotal text field as well, but yet my progress bar is nonexistent.

[cornerstonevictory1]

i dont get it can you just make me one

[ryoncrazy]

thx flashbuilding.. ur tutorial really very helpfull for me.. i am looking foward for some more advance tutorial like AE effect loader mix Flash Fla file for some web design... but dunno how it work and create..

[broooooka]

anybody else have cs5 and know how to do this? i cant to the first half rotation motion tweeninging because the fucking ancor point doesnt stay where i put it after i click off it? any help?

[sreejarathish]

Thank you very much mate....This was very help full for people new to this field like me..... Thanks once again

[nahumk222]

so why do you have all the other layers you haven't talked about at the end is there anther video?

[sanjukumite]

thanks for great tut, really helped me out :)

[Peter95240]

Where can i find this but AS2??

[TwistedFunAnimations]

I found this tutorial very helpful. Thank you for investing your time into doing this. :3 "You sukka butt." XD

[MyYTAcc0un7]

3:50 lol HAHAHA !

[naeemdal]

ur awsome:)

[NewtonsStudent]

Great Tutorial as always, much appreciated. Could you do a more simple version of the same "loader concept" maybe just a vertical bar that fills in to 100% so we can get the basic concept of the process in a more condensed format and then work our way up to this. Thanks.

[BATATAstudio]

Hi Adam, I like the message you place in the timeline inside the fla file! hehehehe

To see the video, do and finish de exercise! It's a great idea!!

[spadict]

[GuitarHeroRulez321]

He's a YouTube partner.

Great stuff, even though I can't really use it (because I don't have flash.) I sat here and watched all of it anyways, lol. 'Tis rather entertaining.

[cartoonking3]

great as always man!!!! so how did you do that rotating 3D screenshot tool?

[RobotBoy655]

awesome!

[scotfever]

this is really good

but how did yo get the numbers?

and could you do a couple more examples of this

like different designs and how to stick it on the opening of a website

thanks

[lucas199400]

I'm going to apply this to the website template you made, which i'm fully customizing.

Keep it comming!

[MagicRevealer09]

Great tutorial!

[denno021]

Nice tutorial. I thought it was strange that you used a GotoAndPlay, but you rectified it by the end of the video :). Very nice.

[dyinman]

And what's wrong with that function, exactly?

[denno021]

If the video were to gotoAndPlay, then once 1% had loaded, the movie would move to the next frame and then play the rest of the clip as if it were a normal movie, so the bar would just looked animated. Using gotoAndStop, then each time the movie advances, it will only increment the animation by the 1% amount. Then the next increment will only happen when the movie has loaded that extra percentage, (meaning his variable is now 2), which will correspond to frame 2.

Hopefully that's understandable.

[dyinman]

nevermind, the question was on a more fundamental level. misunderstood the original comment. please ignore.

[carlanton593]

awesome as usual. your the one who got me into web design:) thank you

[CartoonZack]

Awesome tutorial!
