i have a 1,657 kb swf and i added a preloader with precentage bar and for some reason it takes a long time to show the bar. it first apears when the bar is already 60 precent full which means there is a blank page for too long…
the prelodClip has a stop in its first frame and a clip that is called** barclip** which includes a squere movie clip in the shape of the bar ( its alpha is 0 )called hiddenRectForLoc. and another clip called hiddenRect which its width changes according to the loading progress. there is also a text box called thePer to show the precentage in numbers the code in this frame is:
stop ();
firstLoc =_root.preloadClip.barclip.hiddenRectForLoc._width;
the last clip in the preloadClip first frame is a clip that has only code in it. it has three frames. the first one is empty, the second is labled repeat and has this code:
_root.preloadClip.thePer = int(100*_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal());
_root.preloadClip.barclip.hiddenRect._width = _parent.firstLoc*_root.preloadClip.thePer/100;
and the third frame has this code:
if (_root.preloadClip.thePer == 100) {
_root.play();
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay("repeat");
}
so this preloader works but my problem is that it takes it too long to show. how can i solve this?
