Advanced preloading

1

I have read the tutorials I preloading in FLash MX 2004 on Kirupa, that are great by the way, but I was wondering if anyone had an idea as to how to make a movie clip (like a plant growing) and use AS to make is do, depending on the percentage loaded, the movie clip stops and starts but still, when the SWF is done loading, the movie clip has finished too? Do you guys understand what I am trying to say? Thanks.

not really. :h:

I THINK i know what you mean. If you are making an ‘advanced preloader’ you can do one of two things (that i can think of at the moment):

  1. Make the MC 100 frames and goto each frame depending on the precentage.

  2. or you can do something of this nature:

frameNum = Math.floor(numofMCframes * (loaded/total));

and go to the according frame (frameNum).
