I’m working on a modified version of the slideshow demo. I’d like to add a count down circle MC so the viewer knows the slide is changing soon. I found a thread in the forums that provides the code to create a growing pie-chart effect, but it’s based on getBytesLoaded/getBytesTotal and bounces between two frames until the file is loaded.
I’m wondering if there’s a way to substitute getBytesLoaded/getBytesTotal for setInterval and I could make the preloader an MC and put an instance of it on the stage vs. it being the first two frames of the movie.
Anyone care to join me in brainstorming? Free beer
