Thanks,

lot of ppl asking questions about the transitions tut… ill hav to have a look at it… but if you can grasp the basic concept of what ive done (sorry if that sounds patronising or owt… its not intended if it does! :S) chances are you could adapt it to the transitional preloader thingy… ill hav a look for the tut wen i get time k?

Thanks, that would be great. I have used the transition tutorial on the index2.fla I posted over. I have tried some, but it is alittle bit to much for my lvl in as atm.
Thanks in advance,

```auto
bytesLoaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytesTotal = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
//getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total; // Just to remember what the old one was
realPercent = (bytesLoaded/bytesTotal)*100
_root.loadBar._width = fakePercent*2; //max width is 2*100 = 200
_root.loadText = fakePercent+"% Loaded"; //no need to round or times as fakePercent is incremented by 1 each time rather than being loaded/total
if(!firstTime){
firstTime=1
fakePercent=0
}
if(intervalStarted!=1){
intervalStarted=1
clearInterval(fakePercentInt)
fakePercentInt = setInterval(function(){
fakePercent++
trace(realPercent)
},20) //again, change the 100 to a speed of your choice ;)
}
if(fakePercent>realPercent){
clearInterval(fakePercentInt)
}
else if(fakePercent<(realPercent-5)||realPercent>=100){
intervalStarted=0
}
if(fakePercent>=100){
gotoAndStop(3)
clearInterval(fakePercentInt)
}
```
should work ok judging by the code in this tut:

Hehe, no problem.
But I can’t see where I should have this code? That is the code I have in the first frame of my main movie. But how can I get it to replace the transition preloader, the one that comes up after the “in” transition has played.
Understandable? 🙂
Thanks for the help

replace the preloading code on the frames of the swfs with the above and things should run forcibly i hope 😉

Ok, now I have a main.swf that on button press loads profile.swf using this code.
on (release)
\_root.content.loadMovie (“profile.swf”)
and in the profile.swf I have the preloader in the first 2 frames and the text in the third. But when I click on the profile button in the main.swf, the content box gets white and it doesn’t display the preloader, but after the preloader are done, it shows the text…
Understandable 🙂
So, why doesn’t the preloader show up?
Thanks,
fatnslow
