Fade out a preloader

programming flash

I’m over here putting together a tweened preloader that runs in time with bytes loaded. I’m just wondering how I could make the preloader movieclip fade out when the tween is finished and then advance the playhead when the alpha reaches 0. I can post an fla if that’ll help anyone understand better.
Heres the code on the preloader movieclip:


onClipEvent (load) {
        if (_parent.getBytesTotal() == _parent.getBytesLoaded()) {
                quickPlay = true;
        } else {
                preLoad = (_parent.getBytesTotal() * 0.75);  //percent to preload
        }
        _parent.stop();
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        gotoAndStop(loadedIndicatorFrame());
        if (quickPlay == true) {  //quickly play the anim
                if (_currentframe == _totalframes) {
                        _parent.play();
                }
        } else {  //wait for the preload
                if (_parent.getBytesLoaded() >= preLoad) {
                        _parent.play();
                }
        }
}

Then this is on the main timeline in the preloader mc:



lastFrame = 1;

function loadedIndicatorFrame() {
        var newFrame = int((_parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 65) + 2;
        if (newFrame - lastFrame > 4) {  //too far
                lastFrame += 4;
                loadedText = int(_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024 * (lastFrame - 2) / 65) + "kb of " + int(_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + "kb";
        } else if (newFrame - lastFrame > 0) {  //normal move
                lastFrame++;
                loadedText = int(_parent.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) + "kb of " + int(_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + "kb";
        }
        return lastFrame;
}

I’m guessing its just a simple script in the (enterFrame). Thanks for any help. :smiley:
