Hey guys,

Im pretty new to Flash, but im wondering if there were any tutorials or how to go about creating a loading bar at the start of the flash file so when it gets published as a HTML and others view it, it will show the percentage bar of how much has downloaded, then the movie will play… or add a button to click play once its downloaded.

Any help would be great!  
Thanks,

Phill
