Hey guys,

I’ve searched the internet (and this forum) for ways of creating a preloader that (for example) fills a given shape with color depending upon how much data has currently been preloaded. Put another way, I’m trying to create a preloader that animates according to the given preload percentage complete.

I’m new to Action Script and Flash, so please explain if you leave code or examples.

Thanks a lot!!!
