Hello,

So I’ve built my movie and it’s all working just great. Only thing left to do is to create a preloader (you know, the kind that sits at the start of the movie/site, like a splash screen, showing the percentage downloaded).

Of course, I can find AS2 scripts that I can drop on frame one of the scene I have designated as the preloader, but can I find the AS3 equivalent? Can I hell.

I’m hoping someone can link me to a bit of script since I’m no AS3 coder nor do I ever intend to be. I barely understand the rudiments…

Many thanks for any help!
