HELP--Percentage PreloaderTut. by Lostinbeta

The text in my preload works because you aren’t loading the movie in dynamically, you are show streaming on the movie directly.

Fergettabot this slider, I’m using a different one. I just spent the last week redoing all my .swf movies because I inadvertantly threw out my folder with the whole setup in it. :<( Now I’ve got the background music & slider (that I want to play continuosly) in a .swf file. So now I’m back to square 1, i.e., a bunch of .swfs that are called on via loadMovieNum(“intro.swf”, 10); using levels. You told me earlier to put a preloader on each individual .swf I load. What preloader should I use? I don’t want to use your preloader because it has the bar that shows loading percent (I don’t know how to revise that script). Can you guide me to a preloader I should use for this purpose or give me the script?
Sorry for being so much trouble, but I think I’m at the point where I’m beyond help :<( Thanks for your patience and generosity of time and help.

Ok, if you don’t want a percentage preloader I am going to assume you want just a regular preloader… in that case this tutorial may help you…

What I meant by not using a percentage preloader was----->not using a percentage preloader that SHOWS THE BAR LOADING. In other words a percentage preloader without the load bar…Why?–because you said frame preloaders would be passe in the future AND I don’t remember ever seeing a flash site whereby you click to go somewhere and you see a bar loading as the scene loads (but I have a cable connection, maybe that’s why I don’t see that). I’m just trying to find a preloader that a pro would use in my situation to attach to each .swf in order to make the web site user friendly. So which kind would be best??? Which kind would a pro (like you) use?? :<) Thank you.

Any preloader will work, it is just depending on what you want to show while preloading.

You can have a standard percentage preloader while loading, a load bar preloader, or just a movie that says loading that will play until the movie loads (refer to link in last post).

And when did I say frame preloaders would be passe in the future? If you mean the ifFramesLoaded version preloaders, then that is because that command is deprecated and has a possibility of being removed in future versions of Flash.

Any method of preloader is fine as long as it works :wink:
