ok. what i’m trying to do is this:

i have a loader\_mc and inside i have 5 boxes names loader1\_mc, loader2\_mc, etc…

inside each of these embedded clips, there is an image and then a white box covering the image. and in the white box i have a tween that will make the white bx dissapear and then reveal the image inside the white box.

what i want the preloader to do is as the movie loads itself, i want each box to do its tween thing in order. so that when the movie is 100%…the last box will reveal itself and then the movie will start.

i;ve already tried this using a few different concepts, none of which have worked thus far…so i was wondering if anyone here had a solution. =)

First of all… unless this movie is pretty big I can pretty much guarantee that you won’t see most of this “revealing” you are trying to do. I would instead suggest just cutting your total percentage in 20% increments. For instance once 20% is loaded alpha fade your white box to reveal loader\_mc1, at 40% loader\_mc2, etc…

If you really want to do it the way you wanted then you’ll have to do it the same way and break it up in 20% in that every 20% increment is a 100% of the respective loader. Just a little bit of Maff, but I do advise that you will save much more time and headache doing it how I metioned above. It will look smoother and you will have the same effect.

i started doing it that way. i was just wondering if there was a better way.

i just wanted to do it this way, because i’m making a bandsite for someone and this is the way that will work best with the design i’ve made.
